The Prescott Family Foundation focuses its philanthropy almost exclusively on strengthening the local community in West Bend, WI by making large, unrestricted grants to the West Bend Community Foundation. All recorded giving supports general operations of that community foundation, indicating a preference for place-based, flexible funding rather than issue-specific projects. Their approach suggests a trust in the community foundation to allocate resources across local needs.
Highly concentrated: a few large grants exclusively to a single local intermediary (West Bend Community Foundation), with repeated support and an emphasis on general operating funding rather than many small or diverse grantees.
Prescott Family Foundation Inc’s recorded giving is built around one local intermediary: the West Bend Community Foundation. In 2024 alone, the foundation made four separate general-operations grants to that organization, including a $2,428,086 award and three additional $925,000 grants. That pattern shows a funder using a community foundation as the main vehicle for place-based philanthropy in West Bend and Washington County. The grants are consistently unrestricted and aimed at general operations rather than program-specific projects. Beyond that core relationship, the foundation’s recent grants point to a broad local safety-net orientation. Family Promise, Washington County Humane Society, and other West Bend-area nonprofits appear in the record with operating support, suggesting attention to organizations that help stabilize households and community services. The foundation also backs local capacity in recreation, food access, volunteer coordination, and health-related support, all through modest to mid-sized operating grants. Across the file, the pattern is steady, local, and centered on nonprofit infrastructure rather than project-restricted funding.
The clearest theme in the record is general operating support for community-serving nonprofits. In 2024, Prescott Family Foundation Inc gave $200,700 to Family Promise for general operations, alongside a $106,000 grant to Washington County Humane Society for the same purpose. Both awards fit a support model that emphasizes organizational stability over narrowly defined projects. Food access is another visible area. The foundation awarded $25,000 to Full Shelf Food Pantry in 2024 after a $30,000 grant in 2023, both for general operations. Youth development also appears in the grant list: Boys & Girls Club - Washington Cty received $37,500 in 2023 and $12,500 in 2024, each for general operations. Health-related support shows up as well, including a $15,000 operating grant to Albrecht Free Clinic and a $10,000 grant to Uw Foundation - Carbone Cancer. The record also includes grants to The Threshold, Wisconsin Parkinson Association, and Badger Childhood Cancer Network.
The typical grant size is small to mid-sized: p25 is $1,000, median is $3,000, and p75 is $10,000. The distribution is wider than the median suggests because the foundation also makes very large operating grants, especially to West Bend Community Foundation. The record shows repeat support to the same recipients across 2023 and 2024, including Family Promise, Washington County Humane Society, Full Shelf Food Pantry, Boys & Girls Club - Washington Cty, The Threshold, and Wisconsin Parkinson Association. The foundation gives to nonprofit organizations and does not fund individuals. All recorded awards are operating or unrestricted in nature, with no program-related investments noted.
