Stateline Community Foundation is dedicated to identifying and responding to community needs through strategic partnerships, informed grantmaking, and inspired philanthropy. The Foundation brings people and resources together to foster generosity, build partnerships, and create lasting impact for the Stateline community.
The Stateline Community Foundation Inc. stands out for a grantmaking mix that ties school support, human services, arts, and community development to the Stateline area. In the recent grants list, Friends of Paul’s Computer Institute in Clinton received awards in both 2023 and 2025, while Caritas Inc. in Beloit also received multiple grants across different years. That recurring pattern suggests the foundation maintains ongoing relationships with local organizations rather than funding only one-off projects. Its portfolio includes education, health and human services, arts and culture, and capacity-building work. The foundation also supports scholarships for students from Stateline area high schools and non-traditional students, alongside grants for children and youth programs in Rock County and quick-response discretionary awards for community needs. Recent grants also show support for groups serving Beloit, Clinton, Janesville, and other nearby Wisconsin communities. Across the list, awards tend to be modest in size, but the funding reaches a broad set of local institutions, from arts groups and health providers to libraries, churches, and schools.
Education is a major thread in the foundation’s grantmaking. Friends of Paul’s Computer Institute in Clinton received $25,950 in 2023 and $24,200 in 2025, and the School District of Beloit received $10,403 in 2025. Scholarship programs also support students from Stateline area high schools and non-traditional students. Health and human services appear frequently as well. Caritas Inc. in Beloit was awarded $23,600 in 2025 and $18,750 in 2024, while Beloit Meals on Wheels Inc. received $10,300 in 2024. The foundation also funds arts and culture, including $18,600 to Friends of Riverfront Inc. in 2025 and $13,159 to the Beloit Historical Society in 2025. Community development and capacity building show up through grants to United Church of Beloit and the City of Beloit, both named in the recent grants list. Women’s Fund grants and community enrichment grants add targeted support for women and girls and for children’s education, recreation, sports, and the arts.
Typical awards cluster in the low five figures, with p25 at $7,148, the median at $10,125, and p75 at $13,471. The recent grant list also shows larger awards above that range, but most grants sit near the median. The foundation gives through a mixed community foundation structure and uses programmatic grantmaking across multiple named programs. Recipients appear across multiple years, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. Friends of Paul’s Computer Institute, Caritas Inc., Friends of Riverfront Inc., Beloit Historical Society, and Beloit Health System each appear more than once in the recent-grants table. Several active programs accept unsolicited applications, including Discretionary Grants, Community Impact Grants, Women’s Fund Grants, and scholarship applications through the portal.
