The Basic Needs Giving Partnership aims to
end poverty by targeting root causes.
The funds raised through the U.S. Venture Open from generous corporations, family
foundations and individuals are administrated by grant teams at three local community
foundations across Northeast Wisconsin. Grants support nonprofits who collaborate and
address root causes of poverty with a focus on organizations that embrace continuous
improvement, social innovation, shared measurement and equity.
