The Wisconsin Partnership Program (WPP) at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health invites eligible Wisconsin-based community organizations to apply for a WPP Community Capacity Grant.

Through its community grant programs, WPP supports community-led partnerships and collaborations to improve health and well-being for all in Wisconsin.

WPP’s Community Capacity Grant Program supports Wisconsin-based organizations working towards health equity and/or addressing the social determinants of health in increasing their capacity. Grants will support projects designed to help organizations work more efficiently and effectively and will increase their ability to advance their missions.

The Community Capacity Grant Program is intended to support smaller and/or newer Wisconsin-based organizations. Eligible organizations must have less than $500,000 in annual expenses or have obtained nonprofit status after January 1, 2021.

Grants are up to $20,000 for up to one year. Proposals are due February 5, 2026.

Details in the Request for Partnerships

The WPP Oversight and Advisory Committee (OAC) anticipates allocating up to ten Community Capacity grants during this grant cycle depending on the availability of funds.
