The TEMPO Foundation, the 501(c)3 charitable arm of TEMPO, advances emerging and experienced women leaders by providing undergraduate scholarships and professional development grants to females across the state of Wisconsin. Since 1990, the TEMPO Foundation has awarded more than $525,000 in education scholarships to female college students in Wisconsin. In 2018, the TEMPO Foundation expanded its reach with the addition of the annual $15,000 Professional Development Grant.
Over the years, the TEMPO Foundation has received generous support from members, corporate donors and people in the community who care about advancing women leaders. Your tax deductible gift of any amount can truly make a difference.
We thank you in advance for your commitment and for being a part of the TEMPO community. Together our voices rise. And the world rises with us.
Professional Development Grants Since 2018, the TEMPO Foundation has awarded between $12,000 - $18,000 in professional development grants each year to one or multiple recipients to cover leadership, training or other programs for established professional women seeking to take their careers to the next level through the Professional Development Grant. In awarding these grants, TEMPO is able to expand the impact of women in our community by advocating, elevating and accelerating women leaders. The TEMPO Foundation's commitment is to support applicants who face personal, professional and/or financial barriers to achieving their professional development goals.
Undergraduate Scholarships Through the Annual Mentor Awards event, more than $300,000 in undergraduate scholarships has been provided to college juniors and seniors. Since 1990, TEMPO's Mentor Award recipients have designated a Wisconsin university or college to receive a $5,000 scholarship in their name to a female-student in need. For the last 30 years, the TEMPO Foundation's reach has spanned far across the state.
