Let’s work together for Wisconsin’s success.
WEDC’s mission is to enhance the economic well-being of Wisconsinites and their businesses and communities through strategic investment. But we can’t do it alone. Frequently, WEDC issues requests for proposals (RFPs) that invite organizations that share our priorities—seed funds, nonprofits, educational systems, and more—the opportunity to contribute to our mission. In doing so, these organizations simultaneously broaden their own impact and amplify our efforts to enhance life and work in Wisconsin. On this page you can find all currently open RFPs. We encourage you to check this page often to find the latest updates.
