The Weyers Family Foundation focuses on community-focused human services and civic institutions in the Green Bay/Northeast Wisconsin area, with a strong emphasis on veteran services, local healthcare access, and youth mentoring. Their grants support both direct service providers (community clinic, homeless services, veteran groups) and local cultural institutions, indicating a preference for organizations that deliver tangible local impact. Grants tend to be sizable and targeted, funding a small number of organizations each year rather than many small awards.
A $50,000 grant to Heritage Hill Foundation set the tone for Weyers Family Foundation Inc’s recent giving: the foundation backs place-based organizations that serve Green Bay and Northeast Wisconsin through veteran services, housing stability, youth mentoring, and community institutions. Its largest awards are not broad, national bets; they are targeted local commitments to groups with visible roles in daily civic life. The same pattern appears across the foundation’s recent grants. Veterans 1st of NEW Inc and Veterans of Foreign Wars 7534 WI each received $50,000 for program support, while Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Wisconsin Inc received $42,000. Those grants sit alongside support for homeless-services providers, a community clinic, and local historical and cultural organizations. Weyers Family Foundation Inc also supports education-linked efforts through the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay Foundation Inc’s Phuture Phoenix Fund. Across the file, the foundation favors organizations that operate in the Green Bay area and Northeast Wisconsin, often with support aimed at ongoing programs rather than one-time projects. The grant record shows a mix of service delivery, community heritage, and youth-facing work, with recurring attention to veteran support, local healthcare access, and mentoring.
In veteran services, Weyers Family Foundation Inc gave $50,000 to Veterans 1st of NEW Inc in 2024 and another $50,000 to Veterans of Foreign Wars 7534 WI in 2025, both for program support. That pairing shows sustained backing for veteran-focused organizations in Northeast Wisconsin. Housing and emergency-support work is another clear theme. Combating Homelessness and Dependency received $35,000 in 2024 and $15,000 in 2023, both for program support, while Golden House received $25,000 in 2023 and again in 2024 and 2025. St John’s Ministries also appears in the record with a $15,000 grant in 2024. The foundation also funds youth and education-related efforts. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Wisconsin Inc received $42,000 in 2025 and $15,000 in 2023. University of Wisconsin - Green Bay Foundation Inc received $15,000 for the Phuture Phoenix Fund, tying the foundation’s giving to a local college-access initiative.
