OVERVIEW: The WEM Foundation is the charitable vehicle of billionaire Whitney MacMillan. The foundation makes grants in arts, health, environment, social welfare and education. The foundation's education grantmaking has historically focused primarily on Minnesota, the Midwest, and Florida funding charters, education reform groups, and scholarships. The foundation also funds the WEM Outstanding Educator Awards Program.
IP TAKE: The foundation pre-selects the organizations it supports, and doesn't have a website or provide a clear way for grantseekers to get their foot in the door with project proposals. Its WEM Outstanding Educator Awards Program has the most web presence.
