BOARD PHILOSOPHY
The grants made by the Foundation and the commitments made to organizations reflect the
Board's intentions to assist the greater Manitowoc-Two Rivers area through the financial
promotion of humanitarian, educational, charitable, cultural and civic or public purposes.
The Foundation Board has denied requests from applicants geographically remote from the
Manitowoc area. The Foundation has also refused numerous requests for financial
assistance by individuals.
Grants are not made to support the operating budget of an organization and the Foundation
should not be considered a continuing source of annual funding.
