Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I qualify for funding?

    The Canary Fund is determined to support community initiatives in Northeast Wisconsin and recognize the importance of supporting a broad range of projects.

    We suggest two possible courses of action if you are unsure if you qualify:

    1) If in doubt fill it out! We encourage you to submit an application for funding and our team will then follow up to ask some additional questions.
