Make a Fund Distribution/Grant Request

Requests for distributions from your donor advised fund can be emailed directly to Foundation staff at wcf@winonacf.org or feel free to stop by our office during regular business hours. Please find the downloadable Fund Distribution form on the right.

Here are a few Fund Distribution Guidelines for your convenience:

  • The minimum request must be $100, and it is strongly encouraged for fund distributions/grants to be $500 or larger.
  • Fund distributions/grants less than $5,000 are accepted and processed on an on-going basis.
  • Fund distributions/grants at or more than $5,000 require Board approval and need to be received by the 12th of the month for processing and approval at the monthly board meeting on the 4th Tuesday of the month.
