Supporting Families Together Association focuses almost exclusively on strengthening the child care and early childhood support ecosystem in Wisconsin, funding local child care resource & referral agencies, family support centers, and parenting programs. Their grants target organizations that provide technical assistance, referral services, provider capacity-building, and infant/early childhood mental health supports, indicating an emphasis on systems-level support rather than direct child services like preschools. Funding is geographically concentrated in Wisconsin and often delivered as repeat awards to regional intermediaries and service hubs. The foundation appears committed to sustaining infrastructure that improves access to quality child care and family supports statewide.
Supporting Families Together Association Inc. repeatedly makes large operating-style awards to Wisconsin child care resource and referral networks, with the biggest recent grant going to 4-C Community Coordinated Child Care Inc. in Milwaukee for $2,329,568 in 2023. The pattern points to systems support rather than direct service delivery: its grants are aimed at assisting the child care and development system that enriches the lives of children, and the recipients are regional intermediaries that coordinate referrals, provider support, and family connections. The foundation’s recent record shows sustained backing for the same network of organizations across multiple years, including Community Coordinated Child Care Inc. in Madison and Childcaring Inc. in Wisconsin Rapids and Mosinee. That repeat funding suggests a long-term role in keeping Wisconsin’s early childhood support infrastructure functioning. Alongside those larger intermediary grants, the foundation also supports statewide capacity-building work tied to infant and early childhood mental health through Wisconsin-based partners.
A core line of giving goes to child care resource and referral infrastructure. Supporting Families Together Association Inc. awarded $650,253 in 2023 to Child Care Partnership Resource and Referral Center Inc. in Eau Claire and $553,436 in 2024 to Child Care Resource and Referral Inc. in Kimberly, both for assisting the child care and development system. Family support and parenting education is another visible area: The Parenting Place Inc. in La Crosse received $388,721 in 2023 and $244,684 in 2024 for the same system-focused purpose. The foundation also backs regional family support hubs, including Family Connections Inc. in Sheboygan, which received $259,500 in 2023 and $209,912 in 2024. For infant and early childhood mental health, Wisconsin Alliance for Infant Mental Health in Madison received $104,992 in 2024.
Grant sizes are substantial, with a p25 of $292,182, a median of $517,328, and a p75 of $667,941. The recent record shows repeated awards to the same recipients over multiple years, including the main child care intermediary network and several regional family-support organizations. That pattern suggests ongoing operating support rather than one-off project grants. The foundation is a public charity, and the grant list points to programmatic funding tied to child care system infrastructure and related early childhood supports.

Concentrated, state-focused giving with relatively few large grants: the majority of dollars flow to a small set of repeat grantees that serve as regional intermediaries. Grants are sizable and often renewed (multiple grants to the same organizations), indicating multi-year or sustained operational support rather than one-off project funding. Funding distribution is clustered around programmatic infrastructure rather than a broad spread of small, diverse recipients.
Notable grantees: 4-C Community Coordinated Child Care Inc, Community Coordinated Child Care Inc (Madison/4C network), Childcaring Inc, The Parenting Place Inc, Northwest Connection Family Resources Inc
