l. Background and introduction
ln February 2014, fhe full Board of Directors met for a strategic-planning discussion to address several
questions concerning how to best deploy the unrestricted new endowment funds given to the Bradley
Foundation by the Caroline Bradley Trust upon Sarah Barder's death. ln June and August, during its
regular second- and third-quarter meetings, the Board discussed the Barder Fund again, and Directors
further discussed it in the interims.
During the February discussion, the Board decided to:
A. begin deploying/spending the new funds úftrs yea4
B. decline the opportunily to reduce the percentage of the Foundation's endowment annually
spends on grants this year, but start taking the opportunity to do so next year, reducing
spending on grants by 0.1o/o per year for five years;
C. separately deploy the new funds, as opposed to distributing them ratably across the existing
array of grantees/sectors/committees;
D. retain the new funds in one separate fund overseen by the entire Board, as opposed to
dividing them in some way among the four committees to be dedicated by them to strategic
initiatives;
E. for the most part, limit these new, strategic grants to large amounts;
F. depart from the general policy and consider multi-year grants of up to three years for them,
albeit with requirements for specific performance metrics to be met throughout the period;
G. consider using a request-for-proposal (RFP) approach for some or all of the new grants; and,
H. decline externally referring to the new grants as "Barder grants," but appropriately credit them
as being enabled by the new endowmentfunds given by the trust upon Barder's death.
l¡. Foci
The Board has agreed upon the following general focus areas for the "Barder Fund:"
K-12 education - Widening the universe of educational options for parents, nationally and locally
Higher education - Restoring academic integrity to elite higher education
The family - Altering changing family structure and its negative economic and other
consequences
Public discourse - lmproving the flow of conseruative ideas
Local capital -- Renovating the infrastructure of impoñant local afts, cultural, and civic institutions
Capacity-building - Enhancing the quality and institutional effectiveness of conseruative

infrastructures at the state level
More areas have been suggested or restyled for Barder Fund foci. ln the future, the Fund could perhaps
include more areas.
lll. Approaches and recommendations
ln the higher-education area, SUBIA B A recommends a three-year, $3,000,000 grant to the

Foundation for Excellence in Higher Education (FEHE).
Staff is proceeding with the RFP process, on a pilot basis, in two other areas. SUBTAB B includes the
RFP to alter changing family structure and its negative economic and other consequences and the list of
those almost 50 people to whom or organizations to which the RFP was distributed earlier this month.
Staff recommends authorization of $1,500,000 for any Barder grant or grants resulting from the
RFP process in SUBTAB B.
SUBTAB C includes the RFP to enhance the quality and institutional effectiveness of conservative
infrastructures at the state level and the list of those more than 150 people to whom or groups to which
the RFP was sent earlier this month. ln SUBTAB C, staff recommends authorization of another
$1,500,000 îor any Barder grant or grants resulting from the RFP process.
SUBTAB D recommends two local capital grants -- one to the Milwaukee County War Memorial
Center for 8500,000 and another to the Wisconsin Eye Public Affairs Network, also for $500,000.
The FEHE and local-capital grant-contract arrangements would include - and the process described in
the two RFPs both already include -- stringent, specific, numerically measurable benchmarking and
reporting requirements, on fulfillment of which payment schedules (or termination) will be determined.
The RFPs'deadline is January 15,2015.

SUBTAB A: Restoring academic integrity to higher education
Staff recommends a three-year, $3,000,000 Barder Fund grant to the Foundation for Excellence in
Higher Education (FEHE) in Princeton, N.J., in support of its University Project.
FEHE'spresi the
also president of The University project's
Bradley-supp in Princeton and a
plan is to restore
member of th n university's
Bradtey-supp am in Amirican intellectual integrity to
ldeals and lnstitutions, directed by Robert P. George. higher education by
establishing more centers
ect's plan of excellence ¡n teaching
research and research within elite

on the and influential leading
James Madison Program, or adjacent to their campuses, universities or adiacent to
modeled on Witherspoon. their Campuses.
Last year, the FEHE project led the
development of three such centers -- the
Bradley-supported Austin lnstitute for the
Study of Family and Culture near the
University of Texas, The Berkeley lnstitute
near the University of California, and the
Collegium lnstitute for Catholic Thought &
Culture near the University of Pennsylvania.
The project's goal is to now develop centers at Harvard, Stanford, and Yale Universities.
Aiming to develop even more centers, FEHE has developed working relationships with scholars at the
Universities of Cambridge, Chicago, and Oxford, and it may establish a relationship with a Columbia
University scholar.
Last September 29, with previous Barder Fund support, FEHE and Witherspoon co-sponsored a
successful, day-long event on the Princeton campus to launch a $25 million capital campaign for the
project. The campaign started with a lead a grant of $5 million from Charles B. Johnson of Franklin
Resources.
The program featured Tellez, George, and George F. Will. The Bradley Board was represented at the
event. Other donors also attended.
Porbed to help
Engaged and effective faculty members like George are already in place at some of America's best
existing institutions of higher education. A number of them have achieved success in their fields with
rigorous, resourceful, bold scholarly research that honors and defends basic norms of reasonable thought
and action. They are helping to shift discussions within their fields.
With additional philanthropic investment, FEHE and its allies are essentially betting that these faculty
members' research programs can, through a Madison- or Witherspoon-like center, acquire an institutional
prominence and publicity that can incrementally help further reform the intellectual culture - one major
existing university at a time. There is not necessarily a need, the thinking goes, to create any wholly new
institutions.
The University Project is poised to help foster creation of these centers.

Requirements for payment
lf awarded, the $3,000,000 grant would all come out of this year's Barder Fund budget. The initial
payment would be made immediately. Subsequent years' payments (or their termination) would be
contractually dependent upon:
1. the formal creation and public announcement of, and the hiring of executive directors for, the
three centers at Harvard, Stanford, and Yale by April 1,2015',
2. the hosting of at least three public events, with attendance of more than 50 students at each one,
by each of these three new centers by October 1,2015;
3. the hosting of a total of at least nine public events, with attendance of more than 50 students at
each one, by each of these three new centers by October 1,2016;
4. the formal creation and public announcement of, and the hiring of executive directors for, three
additional centers by April 1, 2016;
5. the hosting of at least three public events, with attendance of more than 50 students at each one,
by each of these three additional centers by October 1,2016;
6. the raising of a total of at least $10,000,000 for the overall project by July 1 , 2015; and,
7. the raising of a total of at least $17,500,000 for the overall project by July 1,2016.
Ultimately, of course, if the purpose of a Barder Fund philanthropic investment like this is met, it would be
measurably reflected in numericalchanges in surveys of bias among faculties and students at elite
colleges and universities.
SUBTAB B: Altering the changing family structure
RFP within this subtab, which was distributed to the list of people and organizations following the RFP
earlier this month. The RFP's deadline is February 15,2015.
lf authorized, the $1,500,000 would all come out of this year's Barder Fund budget. More support for the
specific project or projects, or other projects in this area, could be offered next year.
THE LYNDE AND HARRY BRADLEY FOUNDATION
Request for proposals to

alter changing family structure
and its negative economic
and other consequences
Proposals due at 5 p.m. Central time on February 15, 2015
The Bradley family and the Bradley Foundation
The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation in Milwaukee is the philanthropic legacy of two entrepreneurial
brothers, Lynde and Harry Bradley, who founded the city's Allen-Bradley Company in '1903. Steadfastly
adhering to their donor intent, the Foundation remains dedicated to its mission of strengthening the
institutions, principles, and values that nurture and sustain the American Experiment and the West.
For more than a quarter of a century, its grantmaking program has thus supported limited, competent
government and a dynamic marketplace for economic, intellectual, and cultural activity. lt has also
recognized that responsible self-government depends on enlightened citizens.
Since 1996, the Foundation has been headquartered in the historic and architecturally significant Lion
House on Milwaukee's East Side. At the end of 2013, its assets totaled just more than $900 million.
ln late 2013, the Foundation received major distributions, totaling nine fígures, from the trust of Caroline
Bradley, Lynde's wife. They were received following the death of Caroline's adopted daughter, Sarah
Barder, a former member of the Foundation's Board of Directors.
The Foundation is ambitiously seeking to pursue several special program initiatives and is prepared to
devote significant resources to those initiatives.
The Foundation's special initiative on the family
One of these initiatives is to alter changing family structure in the United States and its many negative
economic and other consequences. Since the 1950s, divorces and out-of-wedlock births in America have
risen dramatically, significantly - and unfortunately, in recent years, increasingly -- negatively affecting
the economic well-being of the country's most-vulnerable populations and causing other adverse effects,
as well.
Therefore, the Foundation here formally requests proposals to alter changing family structure and those
bad consequences through an up-to-three-year, up to $1.5 million, results-oriented project. The project
could seek to achieve impact vra change in policy and/or practice, law and/or culture. lt would need to be
based in its very design, moreover, on specific performance metrics to be met throughout the grant
period. lt is possible that grants may be made to more than one applicant, and special consideration will
be given to projects that are based on groups working collaboratively with each other that submit joint
proposals. lf the project or projects merit it, further funding could perhaps be forthcoming in later years.
While proposals could include components for research, it is not anticipated that primarily research-based
or -themed proposals could provide the Foundation with enough of a prospect for the desired, real-world
impact to warrant such a major philanthropic investment. Proposals could also include components for
pilot projects that could be easily replicated or "taken to scale," but the ability to so replicate and scale
would need to be demonstrated.
lmportantly, all proposals should include a public-discourse component designed to help reach and
influence heretofore-unreached new audiences, including the next and future generations of Americans.
Application process
Project proposals should total no more than 20 single-spaced pages. They should include, first, an
abstract of no more than 150 words generally summarizing the work and clearly articulating its goals and
objectives. Then, they should have a more-detailed description, including:
. by whom it will be carried out, including biographies or résumés thereof in an appendix (which
would not count against the 20-page limit);
. by whom it will be overseen, including a board of directors or trustees and/or advisors;
. its methodological approach;
o its geographic scope;
. arìy history of similar or related efforts, whether successful or not;
o its timeline for completion (which can be shorter than three years);
. on the timeline, the appropriate points at which and specific metrics by which its progress towards
the stated goals and objectives can be numerically measured and fairly evaluated;
. its budget, including direct and indirect costs per task and salaries and benefits;
o the applicant organization's other sources of support, philanthropic or othenvise, for general
operations or the specific project;
. arìy other outstanding requests for support of the project;
o evidence of the applying entity's tax-exempt status and fiscal accounting, including its most-
recent independent auditor's report and,
. three references.
Upon receipt of all proposals, the Foundation's staff and Board will conduct due diligence on them,
potentially including meetings with officials of the applicant. As with all of the Foundation's grantmaking,
the Board will make allfinal decisions regarding these special grants.
Proposals should be sent to: Michael W. Grebe, President and Chief Executive Officer, The Lynde and
Harry Bradley Foundation, The Lion House, 1241 North Franklin Place, Milwaukee, Wl,53202.
To be considered, they are due at 5 p.m. Central time on February 15,2015. No additional copies need
be sent.

SUBTAB G: Capacity-building in the states
RFP within this subtab, which was distributed to the list of people and organizations following the RFP
earlier this month. The RFP's deadline is February 15,2015.
lf authorized, the $1,500,000 would all come out of this year's Barder Fund budget. More support for the
specific project or projects, or other projects in this area, could be offered next year.
THE LYNDE AND HARRY BRADLEY FOUNDATION
Request for proposals to

build the capacity of
co n servative in frastru ctures
in the states
Proposals due at 5 p.m, Central time on February 15, 2015
The Bradley family and the Bradley Foundation
The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation in Milwaukee is the philanthropic legacy of two entrepreneurial
brothers, Lynde and Harry Bradley, who founded the city's Allen-Bradley Company in 1903. Steadfastly
adhering to their donor intent, the Foundation remains dedicated to its mission of strengthening the
institutions, principles, and values that nurture and sustain the American Experiment and the West.
For more than a quarter of a century, its grantmaking program has thus supported limited, competent
government and a dynamic marketplace for economic, intellectual, and cultural activity. lt has also
recognized that responsible self-government depends on enlightened citizens.
Since 1996, the Foundation has been headquartered in the historic and architecturally significant Lion
House on Milwaukee's East Side. At the end o12013, its assets totaled just more than $900 million.
ln late 2013, the Foundation received major distributions, totaling nine figures, from the trust of Caroline
Bradley, Lynde's wife. They were received following the death of Caroline's adopted daughter, Sarah
Barder, a former member of the Foundation's Board of Directors.
The Foundation is ambitiously seeking to pursue several special program initiatives and is prepared to
devote significant resources to those initiatives.
The Foundation's special initiative on the súaúes
One of these initiatives is to increase the quantity and quality of "conservative state infrastructures"
around the country. These infrastructures are, or should be, made up of organizations that work well
together to advance the Foundation's mission and grantmaking program in their respective states. They
often include public-policy research institutes, public-interest litigation centers, and investigative-
journalism outlets. They need to have the ability to creatively educate policymakers and the public about
that which is necessary to effect change
Therefore, the Foundation here formally requests proposals to build the capacity of conservative state
infrastructures through an up{o-three-year, up to $1.5 million, results-oriented project. The project could
seek to achieve impact vla change in policy and/or practice, law and/or culture. lt could be state-specific
and/or issue-specific, whether in a particular state or nationwide in scope. lt would need to be based in
its very design, moreover, on specific performance metrics to be met throughout the grant period. lt is
possible that grants may be made to more than one applicant, and special consideration will be given to
projects that are based on groups working collaboratively with each other that submit joint proposals. lf
the project or projects merit it, further funding could perhaps be forthcoming in later years.
While proposals could include components for research, it is not anticipated that primarily research-based
or {hemed proposals could provide the Foundation with enough of a prospect for the desired, real-world
impact to warrant such a major philanthropic investment. Proposals could also include components for
pilot projects that could be easily replicated or "taken to scale," but the ability to so replicate and scale
would need to be demonstrated.
lmportantly, all proposals should include a public-discourse component designed to help reach and
influence heretofore-unreached new audiences through creative messaging, including the next and future
generations of Americans.
Application process
Project proposals should total no more than 20 single-spaced pages. They should include, first, an
abstract of no more than 150 words generally summarizing the work and clearly articulating its goals and
objectives. Then, they should have a more-detailed description, including:
. by whom it will be carried out, including biographies or résumés thereof in an appendix (which
would not count against the 20-page limit);
. by whom it will be overseen, including a board of directors or trustees and/or advisors;
. its methodological approach;
. its geographic scope;
. any history of similar or related efforts, whether successful or not;
o its timeline for completion (which can be shorter than three years);
. on the timeline, the appropriate points at which and specific metrics by which its progress towards
the stated goals and objectives can be numerically measured and fairly evaluated;
. its budget, including direct and indirect costs per task and salaries and benefits;
. the applicant organizationls other sources of support, philanthropic or otherwise, for general
operations or the specific project;
. anv other outstanding requests for support of the project;
o evidence of the applying entity's tax-exempt status and fiscal accounting, including its most-
recent independent auditor's report; and,
. three references.
Upon receipt of all proposals, the Foundation's staff and Board will conduct due diligence on them,
potentially including meetings with officials of the applicant. As with all of the Foundation's grantmaking,
the Board will make allfinal decisions regarding these special grants.
Proposals should be sent to: Michael W. Grebe, President and Chief Executive Officer, The Lynde and
Harry Bradley Foundation, The Lion House, 1241 North Franklin Place, Milwaukee, Wl, 53202.
To be considered, they are due at 5 p.m. Centraltime on February 15,2015 No additional copies need
be sent.

Staff recommends a one-year, $500,000 Barder Fund grantto the Milwaukee County War Memorial
Center in support of its Veterans Couñyard Project.
The Center coordinates private funds directed toward the Milwaukee County-owned War Memorial
building and runs the programming that takes place within it. The iconic building was designed by
Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen and opened in 1957 to commemorate the service and sacrifice
of Milwaukee's veterans, as well as house the Layton Art Museum and Milwaukee Art lnstitute,
predecessors to the Milwaukee Art Museum (MAM). The complex was expanded in 1975 with an
addition designed by localarchitect David Kahler, and again in 2001 with the construction of the famous
Quadracci Pavilion, designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. Throughout this history, the
relationship between the Milwaukee Art Museum and the War Memorial Center has been characterized
by tension rooted largely in disagreements over who is responsible for the upkeep of the Saarinen
building, which has fallen into disrepair.
ln the past few years, it has become

obvious to everyone involved that
deferring the maintenance of the
Saarinen and Kahler buildings is no
longer an option because serious
problems have put the MAM's
collection at risk and diminished the
experience of its visitors. Further, the
degradation of the building has
clearly contributed to a significant,
albeit more-gradual, decline in the
use of the War Memorial itself. With
MAM taking the lead, the two
organizations entered into a
contentious period of public
negotiations over the project,
resulting in a plan to renovate the
complex and add another entrance
on its lakefront side. Earlier in2014,
the Foundation supported this
broader campaign by making a $1,000,000 Barder grant to MAM.
The plan for the complete renovation of the campus dictates that
the
the restoration of the Veterans courtyard is the purview of
The project will begin with a
War Memorial Center. This is the ouidoor space behind the complete reconstruction of
Saarinen building with sweeping views of Lake Michigan. lt is the courtyard deck,
adjacent to Fitch Plaza, which rests atop the Kahler
The project will begin with a complete reconstruction
courtyard deck, including the addition of a black gra
Honor that will highlight the names of all significant
since World War l. Flagpoles, benches, lighting, wa
and the staircase will be replaced. A new, movable "wall of confl¡cts since World War l.
glass" will replace the east-facing wall between the lobby and
courtyard, allowing the Center to open up the space for memorial services and events held during nice
weather.
The War Memorial Center intends to use the Veterans Courtyard Project as a springboard to launch a
portfolio of new, reinvigorated programming for veterans and the community at large. lts intention is to
become a vibrant hub of activity, which would include educational programs for students, a lecture series
for adults, and permanent, interactive exhibits. The Center also intends to recommit itself to serving living
veterans by coordinating services otfered by the VA, Dry Hootch, the Center for Veterans lssues, and the
like. The courtyard project is the first phase of a $6,000,000 private fundraising campaign.
Milwaukee County has pledged a total of $10 million for capital improvements to the entire campus. The
total budget for restoration of the Veterans Courtyard is $1.5 million, $700,000 of which is part of the
allocation from the County. This leaves a balance of $800,000 that the Genter is required to raise from
private sources. lt has raised $200,000 thus far -- $100,000 from the Rotary Club of Milwaukee and
$100,000 from individual donors.
Requi rem ents for payment
lf awarded, the $500,000 grant would be charged to this year's Barder Fund budget. Payment of the
entire grant would be contingent upon:
1. submission of a more-detailed plan for how the facility will be used and what programming will
take place therein; in particular, the Foundation will require that the Center complete its
contemplated strategic plan to extend the War Memorial's mission "to honor the dead by serving
the living" through increased partnerships with organizations that serve veterans.
2. success in raising the final $100,000 they need for the first phase of the project.
Staff recommends a one-year, 8500,000 Barder Fund grant to WisconsinEye in support of its
Access & Excellence Campaign.
WisconsinEye Public Affairs Network is Wisconsin's version of C-SPAN. lt provides coverage of the
activities of Wisconsin's Legislature, State Supreme Court, and Governor's Office without editing or
commentary. WisconsinEye also provides coverage of political campaigns, elections, public hearings and
other events that are in the public's interest. lt has not sought and does not receive taxpayer support out
of concern that public funding could ultimately lead to biases in program coverage.
WisconsinEye is currently in the second year of a six-year contract with the State. The channel is
available throughout the majority of the state via Time Warner and Charter cable services. lt is also
available online through a paid subscription to My WisconsinEye, which confers the added benefits of
searchability and customized profiles. Robotic cameras installed in the Capitol building serve dual
purposes of reducing expenses and making coverage less conspicuous, so as to catch legislators on both
sides of the aisle at their most uninhibited.
Despite the high quality of its programs, as Directors are aware, WisconsinEye has struggled to balance
its budgets throughout its history. lt has relied too heavily on bailouts from a generous and loyal donor,
which has allowed the organization to defer serious consideration of its long-term sustainability. Due to
pressure from the aforementioned loyal but now-fatigued donor, in Summer 2014, WisconsinEye
launched its $5.5 million Access & Excellence campaign, intended to make the organization financially
stable and expand its reach to new audiences. Objectives of the campaign include:
. the raising of multiple years' operating costs to alleviate ongoing cash-flow concerns;
. implementation of significant technology upgrades that will enable a transition from tape to digital
recording, allow mobile editing, and enable accessibility across platforms, including streaming on
mobile devices and through its new foray into YouTube;
. development of a new high-school civics pilot program;
. creation of a new marketing plan designed to increase awareness of the network and recognition
of its brand;
. ¡mprovement of its fund-development strategy in order to diversify its sources and generate
earned income opportunities; and,
. the addition of a new staff position.
Requirements for payment
lf awarded, the $500,000 grant would be charged to this year's Barder Fund budget. An initial payment of
$250,000 would be made immediately to enable WisconsinEye to purchase upgraded equipment and
launch its new marketing campaign. Payment of the remaining $250,000 would be contingent upon:
1. the raising of at least $2,500,000 toward the overall campaign goal of $5,500,000 by June 30,
2015.
