The Thompson Family Charitable Foundation concentrates its giving exclusively on women's health in Wisconsin, providing unrestricted program support to a single statewide organization. All recorded grants (two awards totaling $51,800) went to the Wisconsin Women’s Health Foundation, indicating a focused, mission-driven approach rather than broad diversification.
Highly concentrated—small foundation with repeat, sole-recipient funding. Provides modest-sized, general program support rather than many one-off grants or diversified beneficiaries.
Notable grantees: Wisconsin Women's Health Foundation Inc
Thompson Family Charitable Fdn Inc C/o Jason T Thompson shows a clear pattern of giving through unrestricted support to Wisconsin nonprofits, with its largest recent award going to Wisconsin Womens Health Foundation Inc in Madison for $26,800 in 2024. A second grant to the same organization for $25,000 in 2023 points to repeat support for the same recipient rather than broad dispersal across many groups. Beyond that anchor relationship, the foundation has also funded schools, health-related nonprofits, parish organizations, and community groups, usually at modest levels that fit a small private foundation with $584,010 in assets and $119,600 in annual grants. Recent recipients include Royall School District in Elroy, Gunderson-st Josephs Health Foundation in Hillsboro, and St James Catholic School in Madison. The grants are recorded as general program support, which suggests flexible funding rather than project-specific awards. Most of the foundation’s grant activity stays in Wisconsin, matching a regional scope and a strong in-state pattern of giving. The overall record points to a family foundation that uses annual grants to support ongoing operations for a mix of local organizations, while maintaining a durable focus on women’s health through the Wisconsin Womens Health Foundation.
Women’s health is the foundation’s clearest priority. In 2024, Thompson Family Charitable Fdn Inc C/o Jason T Thompson awarded $26,800 in general program support to Wisconsin Womens Health Foundation Inc in Madison, and it had already given that organization $25,000 in 2023. That repeated support is the strongest signal in the file. Education is another recurring area. The foundation gave $6,000 to Royall School District in Elroy in 2023 and another $6,000 to Royall School Scholars in Elroy in 2024, both for general program support. Health-related institutions also appear in the record beyond women’s health. Gunderson-st Josephs Health Foundation in Hillsboro received $5,000 in 2023, and St Josephs Hospital in Hillsboro received $2,500 in 2024. The foundation also funded Morgridge Institute for Research in Madison with $2,500 in 2023.
Typical grants are small: the p25 is $500, the median is $1,000, and the p75 is $3,250. The recent record shows a mix of one-time awards and repeat support, especially for Wisconsin Womens Health Foundation Inc, Royall School District, Camp Gray, and Blessed Trinity Catholic Parish. That pattern fits a private family foundation making annual general-support grants rather than a broad open-call program. The foundation also indicates an invitation-based process in its annual cycle, with LOIs used in some grant programs and emergency or out-of-cycle consideration possible in limited cases.
