The deadline for Brittingham Wisconsin Trust grant proposals is Friday, August 30, 2024. The deadline for Evjue Foundation grant proposals is Friday, February 28, 2025. A small committee appointed by the provost will recommend projects for submission to the Brittingham Wisconsin Trust and the Evjue Foundation for consideration.

Approval for the proposed project from the appropriate department chair, dean, or director is required.
Brittingham Wisconsin Trust Grants to UW-Madison:
The Brittingham Wisconsin Trust traditionally provides small grant support for university-sponsored projects, with an emphasis on projects in the arts and humanities that may not have access to other funding, as well as projects identified by campus leadership as priorities of the institution. The Trust also supports innovative or experimental projects that may subsequently be funded through traditional sources, interdisciplinary activities, and special projects that contribute to the university’s knowledge base or provide distinctive learning experiences.
Please see the website below for additional submission details. It is recommended that grant requests be in the $2,000 – $10,000 range. Larger grants may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Evjue Foundation Grants to UW-Madison:
The Evjue Foundation grants are made possible by the generous philanthropy of the late William T. Evjue, the founder of The Capital Times newspaper. The Evjue Foundation regularly makes grants to UW-Madison for projects that provide outreach and enhance the quality of life for those living in Madison and Dane County more broadly. While the Evjue Foundation holds two grant rounds per year, all grant proposal that involve a UW-Madison entity must be submitted through the campus process which has an early spring deadline on the last Friday in February of each year.
The Evjue Foundation traditionally funds community outreach-oriented projects. Proposals should describe how the project will benefit the community. It is recommended that grant requests be in the $2,000 – $10,000 range. Larger grants, in rare cases, may be considered. Please see the website below for additional submission details.
Evjue Foundation Grants proposal deadline: February 28, 2025
