To create a healthier Wisconsin by reducing substance use, fostering a diverse healthcare workforce, and strengthening underserved communities through education and collaboration.
Northeastern Wi Area Health Education Center Inc. centers a repeated pattern of coalition-based prevention funding across Wisconsin, especially for substance use prevention. In 2024, one of its largest grants went to the Healthy Youth Coalition of Marinette & Menominee Counties for support coalition prevention activities, and similar support appears across multiple communities year after year. The foundation’s recent grants also show a consistent investment in local coalitions such as Family Services of Southern Wi and Northern Il (youth 2 Youth 4 Change), Partners for Prevention - Richland County, and Oregon Cares. Its work extends beyond prevention coalitions into health workforce development, with active programs for Community Health Worker training, AHEC Scholars, and loan assistance and scholarship information. The grantmaking profile points to a local Wisconsin funder using relatively targeted awards to support direct service, prevention-focused projects, and collaborative community efforts. Recent recipients include organizations in small cities and county-level coalitions, which aligns with its stated goal of strengthening underserved communities through education and collaboration. The foundation also operates resource distribution efforts tied to overdose prevention, including naloxone kits, lockboxes, fentanyl test strips, and festival safety toolkits.
Substance use prevention is the clearest theme in the recent grants. The foundation gave $24,500 to Healthy Youth Coalition of Marinette & Menominee Counties for support coalition prevention activities, and it made similar awards to Janesville Mobilizing 4 Change Inc, Oconto County Alcohol Coalition, and Brown County Drug Alliance for the same type of coalition work. Youth-focused prevention is another thread: Family Services of Southern Wi and Northern Il (youth 2 Youth 4 Change) received $20,220 for coalition prevention activities. On the workforce side, the foundation supports health careers through programs such as AHEC Scholars and Community Health Worker training. It also provides prevention resources directly, including naloxone kits, medication lockboxes, fentanyl test strips, and festival safety toolkits for community organizations, event planners, and families.

Recent grants cluster around a relatively narrow size band: the 25th percentile is $8,960, the median is $11,100, and the 75th percentile is $14,050. The top recent awards are larger than that core range, but many grants sit in the low five figures. The same coalitions appear across multiple years, including Healthy Youth Coalition of Marinette & Menominee Counties, Better Brodhead, Sun Prairie Wellness Coalition, Waunakee Community Cares, and Manitowoc County Human Services, which shows recurring support rather than isolated one-time gifts. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its program model is grant-based and resource-driven, with several active opportunities and toolkits tied to prevention and workforce development.
The giving is overwhelmingly Wisconsin-based: 97% of grants go to recipients in WI. Awards appear across the state, including Manitowoc, Green Bay, Kaukauna, Janesville, Madison, Stoughton, Sun Prairie, Waunakee, Oconto, and Baraboo. The most visible out-of-state recipient in the recent list is Healthy Youth Coalition of Marinette & Menominee Counties in Menominee, MI, reflecting a cross-border service area in the Upper Midwest. Recipient locations are mostly small cities and county coalitions rather than large statewide institutions.
It primarily funds local coalition and community organizations working on substance use prevention, tobacco and vaping prevention, and opioid overdose prevention. Recent recipients include county partnerships, wellness coalitions, and drug-alcohol alliances, usually for support coalition prevention activities.
Typical awards are small and fairly clustered: the 25th percentile is $8,960, the median is $11,100, and the 75th percentile is $14,050. Recent grants often fall near that range, with many awards in the low five figures.
Its giving is overwhelmingly local to Wisconsin, with 97% of grants going to recipients in the state. The recent grant list also includes one recipient in Menominee, Michigan, tied to a coalition serving the Marinette and Menominee counties area.
The clearest focus areas are healthcare workforce development and substance use prevention. The active program list also includes overdose prevention and naloxone distribution, tobacco and vaping prevention, community health internships, youth career exploration, and public health harm-reduction access.
Yes. Several recipients appear across multiple years, including Healthy Youth Coalition of Marinette & Menominee Counties, Better Brodhead, Sun Prairie Wellness Coalition, Waunakee Community Cares, and Manitowoc County Human Services. That suggests ongoing support for existing partners.
