Founded in 2007, the Wisdom Family Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to empowering children, believing this transforms families, communities, and the world. It focuses on providing children facing extraordinary challenges with resources and encouragement to persevere through difficulties. This includes access to food, academic scholarships, medical and housing assistance, or hope during the holidays, across Greater Chicago, Northern Wisconsin, Twin Cities, and through International Chapters.
The Wisdom Family Foundation's Organizations Grant aims to provide operating and capital support to strengthen communities. It typically awards operating grants ranging from $1,000 to $5,000. The foundation's board of directors also considers larger capital grants for projects that will strengthen communities on a case-by-case basis, emphasizing the Foundation's commitment to empowering and transforming communities through targeted support.
