Mission and programs · 2025

• THE STARTUP RESPITE GRANT PROGRAM (STARTUP) PROVIDES FUNDING FOR NEW RESPITE PROGRAMS OR BUSINESSES IN WISCONSIN. FUNDS CAN BE USED FOR START-UP PROGRAM COSTS, SUCH AS FACILITY, INSURANCE, PAYROLL, ACCOUNTING, LICENSING, EQUIPMENT, SUPPLIES, AND STAFF EDUCATION. TO QUALIFY FOR THIS GRANT, YOU MUST MEET ONE OF THESE TWO REQUIREMENTS: 1.) YOU ARE STARTING A BRAND-NEW RESPITE CARE PROGRAM OR BUSINESS, OR 2.) YOU ARE GROWING AN EXISTING BUSINESS BY ADDING A NEW RESPITE PROGRAM OR LOCATION. ALSO, YOU MUST MEET BOTH OF THESE: 1.) YOUR PROGRAM OR BUSINESS MUST PROVIDE HANDS-ON RESPITE CARE IN WISCONSIN, AND 2.) AT LEAST ONE TEAM MEMBER MUST HAVE COMPLETED THE FREE BRINGING RESPITE TO YOUR COMMUNITY (BRYC) WORKSHOP THAT TAKES 4-7 HOURS TO COMPLETE AND RESULTS WITH THE BASIC INFO NEEDED FOR A BUSINESS AND OPERATIONAL PLAN. IN 2025, 85 APPLICANTS APPLIED FOR STARTUP GRANT FUNDS, ONLY 6 WERE FUNDED. THESE 6 NEW OR EXPANDING RESPITE SERVICE PROVIDER BUSINESSES RECEIVED A CUMULATIVE OF $147,000, MANY OF WHOM ARE JUST STARTING OUT. 192 CLIENTS HAD ACCESS TO NEW RESPITE SERVICES FOR A TOTAL OF 21,571 HOURS. WE EXPECT THESE NUMBERS TO INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY AS MANY OF THESE BUSINESSES ARE IN EARLY STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT.

• SUPPLEMENTAL RESPITE GRANT PROGRAM (SRGP) FAMILY CAREGIVERS PERFORM VARIOUS COMPLEX SERVICES, INCLUDING BATHING, DRESSING, MEDICATION MANAGEMENT, COORDINATING CARE, FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, AND CRITICAL MEDICAL SERVICES, BOTH PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL. THEY OFTEN ARE EMPLOYED, AND THEIR OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE COOKING, CLEANING, LAUNDRY, LAWN CARE, SNOW REMOVAL, TRANSPORTATION, AND ENSURING THEIR HOME IS ACCESSIBLE AND SAFE FOR THEIR LOVED ONES. OUR SUPPLEMENTAL RESPITE GRANT PROGRAM (SRGP) CAN SUPPORT FAMILY CAREGIVERS BY PROVIDING $250 FOR SUPPLEMENTAL RESPITE SERVICES. IN 2025 WE SERVED 195 FAMILY CAREGIVERS WITH $46,875 VIA OUR SRGP PROGRAM. THE TOP USES OF SRGP FUNDS ARE: 72% HOUSEKEEPING AND LAUNDRY 33% LAWN CARE 21% SNOW REMOVAL 21% TRANSPORTATION

  Expenses $46,875 · Grants $46,875 · Revenue $5,373

• HEALTHY MEALS / HEALTHY MINDS (HMHM): IN ADDITION TO CAREGIVING RESPONSIBILITIES, FAMILY CAREGIVERS OFTEN JUGGLE EMPLOYMENT, FAMILY OBLIGATIONS, COOKING, SHOPPING, AND OTHER HOUSEHOLD DUTIES. THESE RESPONSIBILITIES CAN LEAVE LITTLE TIME FOR CAREGIVERS TO FOCUS ON THEIR OWN HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. OUR HEALTHY MEALS, HEALTHY MINDS GRANT PROGRAM SUPPORTS FAMILY CAREGIVERS BY PROVIDING $250 FOR SERVICES THAT PROMOTE MENTAL HEALTH, WELLNESS, AND ACCESS TO NUTRITIOUS MEALS THROUGH MEAL KITS, HELPING CAREGIVERS REDUCE STRESS, IMPROVE SELF-CARE, AND MAINTAIN THEIR ABILITY TO CONTINUE PROVIDING CARE FOR THEIR LOVED ONES. IN 2025 WE SERVED 80 FAMILY CAREGIVERS WITH $25,873 VIA OUR HMHM PROGRAM.

  Expenses $25,873 · Grants $25,873

• IN 2025 WE SERVED 9 GROUP PROGRAMS WITH $39,188 VIA OUR GRGP PROGRAM. A COMMON CHALLENGE FOR FAMILY CAREGIVERS WHEN ATTENDING CAREGIVER-FOCUSED EVENTS IS THE LACK OF RESPITE CARE. THE GROUP RESPITE GRANT PROGRAM (GRGP) FUNDS AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS TO HIRE RESPITE CARE PROVIDERS FOR ON-SITE CARE DURING THESE EVENTS. EVENTS SUPPORTED BY THE GRGP MAY INCLUDE SUPPORT GROUPS, CLASSES, CONFERENCES, OR OTHER CAREGIVER-RELATED ACTIVITIES. WHILE CAREGIVERS PARTICIPATE, CARE RECIPIENTS CAN ENGAGE IN MEANINGFUL ACTIVITIES, ALLOWING CAREGIVERS THE TIME TO RECHARGE, SEEK SUPPORT, AND GAIN VALUABLE EDUCATION OR RECREATION. THIS GRANT CAN FUND ONE-TIME EVENTS AND RECURRING PROGRAMS, SUCH AS SUPPORT GROUPS. ELIGIBILITY IS NOT RESTRICTED TO NON-PROFIT OR 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATIONS, MAKING IT ACCESSIBLE TO A WIDE RANGE OF AGENCIES AND GROUPS.

As filed on the 2025 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here. A text marked withheld matched a screen for wording that may name a private individual, such as an honorific or "in memory of". Most of what it withholds names no one; it is withheld so that what does is never shown.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
