BASIC NEEDS GIVING PARTNERSHIP
In 2007, the J. J. Keller Foundation announced its intention to match grants out of the fund up to $800,000 annually, and the Basic Needs Giving Partnership was formed. They have since added $7.5 million to our grant making, with an additional $1.6 million committed through 2019. Inspired by J. J. Keller Foundation’s $800,000 grant making investment, Oshkosh Corporation joined as a $250,000 lead grand partner and ThedaCare & Thrivent Foundation joined as $200,000 lead grant partners.
