How we work with nonprofits
Working with nonprofits and public-sector organizations is our passion. We focus our attention primarily on the Milwaukee area on initiatives connected to our main program interests, as well as statewide Alzheimer’s and Aging initiatives.
We support a limited number of projects in other parts of the United States, as well as in Israel. Please review our strategies and guidelines for details.
Our sole overseas interest is in Alzheimer’s in Israel. Grant applications for this interest area are accepted only if they have been requested by a Helen Bader Foundation staff member.
We do not provide direct financial support to individuals, including direct scholarship funds.
