Husco Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Husco Foundation, based in Milwaukee, WI, paid $52,834,000 in its latest filing, and its giving has risen each year, but its typical grant is modest.
- About 8 in 10 of its 48 organisational grants fall between $1,200 and $325,000, and half are $10,000 or less, so a request near $10,000 or below fits best; the band is typical, not a ceiling.
- The filing records mainly general operating support and shows nearly all organisational grant dollars going to Wisconsin recipients, though no geographic focus is stated.
- Because 99% of its latest organisational grant dollars went to organisations it had already funded, a first-time applicant should seek a warm introduction or a link to an existing recipient, and should confirm the process directly, since the filing's April deadline relates to scholarship applicants rather than organisational grants.
Overview
Husco Foundation is a US private foundation based in Milwaukee, WI.
What they fund
Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2025, TY2024, TY2023) only: no website or other web source for the foundation was found. Every statement is checked against the filings. Sources read on 12 October 2026.
Priority Areas
The filing records organisational grants principally for general operating support, with additional support for events, disaster relief and school development. Recipient organisations include educational institutions, community and youth organisations, faith-based and missionary organisations, and organisations working in health and conservation. Other recorded purposes include international relief and training, early learning, a college engineering laboratory, ranger accommodation and a memorial fund for echocardiography. Nearly all recorded organisational grant dollars went to Wisconsin recipients. The available materials do not state wider funding priorities or general eligibility conditions; these recipient types and purposes describe the grants recorded rather than a published programme.
Geographic Focus
No geographic focus is stated; the filings show grants mainly in Wisconsin.
