The Oscar Rennebohm Foundation (ORF) accepts grant applications from Madison and Dane County, Wisconsin public charities recognized as such by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) organization.
The Oscar Rennebohm Foundation requests a brief Letter of Inquiry, submitted through our online GOapply portal. The portal will require you to create an Organizational Profile for a submission. Letters of Inquiry may be submitted at any time throughout the year. It is strongly recommended that your organization contacts the President prior to submission of a Letter of Inquiry to verify that the request meets grant requirements.
The foundation reviews the Letters of Inquiry and invites select organizations, who meet the current areas of focus, to complete a grant form in GOapply. Materials are reviewed by the foundation’s Board of Directors, and grantees are notified of their grant status. Grantees will be asked to return to GOapply to complete a form for payment via ACH through bank accounts.
Please send an acknowledgement of the funds receipt, preferably via email, to the President.
Grantees are asked to provide a very brief check-in form at the completion of their grant period through GOapply.
Instructions and Frequently Asked Questions for GOapply can be answered through this link.
If you have questions or need assistance with the portal or with guidelines, please contact the President, Jenni Jeffress, at 608-492-4282 or jenni.jeffress@rennebohm.org.
