WISCONSINONYMOUS
IS A WISCONSIN-BASED, FREE-WHEELING, NON-POLITICAL, NON-COMMITTEE BASED GRANT GIVING ENTITY DEDICATED TO THE SIMPLE PHILOSOPHY OF REWARDING GOOD THINGS IN WISCONSIN. MY INTENT IS TO BYPASS THE BUREAUCRACY AND GET THE MONEY TO THE PEOPLE - NO APPLICATION NECESSARY. I AM PRIMARILY INTERESTED IN SUPPORTING ALL THINGS ARTISTIC THOUGH INHERENT TO MY PHILOSOPHY, I WILL NOT LIMIT MYSELF TO ANY BUREAUCRATIC NOTION. THE MONEY HAS NO STRINGS AND RECIPIENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO USE IT AS THEY SEE FIT.
CONSIDERING HOW OUR CULTURE CLEARLY DOES NOT RECOGNIZE NOR REWARD THE CREATIVE SPIRIT, WISCONSINONYMOUS HOPEFULLY IN SOME SMALL WAY TIPS THE SCALES BACK IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
CARRY ON WITH GUSTO,
IN COGNITO
