PHILANTHROPY UNPLUGGED

A Pop-Up Giving Circle

Do you have a story worth sharing?
We are giving away $50,000 in one unforgettable night, and looking for three to five nonprofit organizations to take the mic and inspire the room! If selected, your organization will pitch a project or program live at Philanthropy Unplugged on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, at Lucette Brewing Company in Menomonie. You’ll have just 3 minutes to make your case to a crowd of passionate local donors. And then they vote with their dollars.

Why Apply?
✅ Raise funds on the spot
✅ Gain new supporters and visibility
✅ Build relationships with local donors and funders
✅ Be part of a fast, fun, community-first event

What We Are Looking For
✅ A compelling, community-focused project or program
✅ A confident (and brief!) presenter who can bring your mission to life
✅ Organizations that are rooted in Dunn County or serve its residents
✅ Nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status or fiscal sponsorship

This isn’t a formal grant application. It’s about storytelling, connection, and energy.

How to Apply
It only takes a few minutes! We will ask you to:

  • Summarize your organization’s mission and proposed project
  • Share why you want to participate
  • Tell us who will present and why

The deadline to apply is May 31st, 2025.
