The Faye McBeath Foundation is a private, independent foundation providing grants to tax-exempt nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations in the metropolitan Milwaukee area. The Faye McBeath Foundation was established in 1964, shortly before the death of Faye McBeath in 1967 and we have been providing organizations with support for over 40 years. The Foundation has established the following areas of interest:
(1) Children: The Foundation supports promising programs or established approaches promoting the welfare of children, particularly those living in poverty;
(2) Aging and Elders: The Foundation supports promising programs or proven approaches for the challenges and opportunities involving adults aged 60 and older;
(3) Health: The Foundation supports promising programs that will improve access to basic and preventive health services for underserved populations;
(4) Health Education: The Foundation supports promising programs and fresh approaches in health education that lead to improved public health; and
(5) Civic and Governmental Affairs: The Foundation is interested in building the capacity of nonprofit organizations and underwriting efforts to improve the effectiveness of local and regional government.
These areas were established by Faye McBeath and do not change. However, specific grantmaking interests within each of these major categories change periodically. The purpose and objectives of this program are very specific in nature. The distinct subject matter of this funding opportunity necessitates a thorough review of the official program guidance referenced at the URL provided in the contact section of this summary.
