About Versiti Wisconsin
Versiti Wisconsin Inc. directs much of its giving into blood research and hemophilia-related patient support, with its two largest recent awards both going to the Versiti Blood Research Institute Foundation for research. Those awards were $4,010,000 in 2023 and $3,810,000 in both 2024 and 2025, showing a sustained commitment to the research side of its mission. The foundation also supported patient financial assistance through Great Lakes Hemophilia Foundation, including a $129,750 grant in 2025. The pattern suggests an institution funding work closely tied to its own clinical and scientific infrastructure: research at the blood research institute, assistance for patients affected by bleeding disorders, and smaller grants that extend into community organizations in Milwaukee and elsewhere in Wisconsin. Recent awards also included support for the American Heart Association, Marcus Performing Arts Center, and Wisconsin State Fair Park Foundation, indicating some breadth beyond its core medical focus. Its stated purpose is to advance patient care and public health by providing a reliable blood supply, conducting translational blood research, and delivering diagnostic, clinical, and laboratory services.
What Versiti Wisconsin Funds
Blood and transfusion research sit at the center of the foundation’s grantmaking. Versiti Wisconsin Inc. gave $4,010,000 to Versiti Blood Research Institute Foundation Inc. in 2023 and $3,810,000 to Versiti Blood Research Institute Foundation in both 2024 and 2025 for research. Patient support appears through hemophilia-related assistance. The foundation awarded $129,750 to Great Lakes Hemophilia Foundation Inc. in 2025 for patient financial assistance, after grants of $114,000 in 2024 and 2023 for the same purpose. Its portfolio also reaches into broader health and community programs. It gave $15,000 to the American Heart Association in 2023 for research, and made general-support grants to Marcus Performing Arts Center and Wisconsin State Fair Park Foundation in 2025.
How Versiti Wisconsin Gives
Typical awards cluster at $114,000 on the low end and $3,810,000 at the upper quartile, with a median of $114,000. The recent record also includes a much larger $4,010,000 research grant, so the distribution is tilted toward a few large institutional awards alongside smaller support grants. The same recipients can appear across multiple years: Versiti Blood Research Institute Foundation received grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and Great Lakes Hemophilia Foundation Inc. also appears in multiple years. Versiti Wisconsin Inc. is an operating health system foundation rather than a donor-advised fund, and it does not fund individuals.
