Deadline: 23-Sep-21
The Kenosha Community Foundation is now accepting applications for 2021 awards from the Creativity by Kids (CBK) Grant program. The small grant program was created in 2019 by donors of two of the Foundation’s endowment funds (the Clark-Barber Family Fund and the Kubasiewicz Family Trust).
The purpose of the CBK Small Grant program is to provide funds “to groups offering programs in the arts or the understanding of their natural world. It will emphasize cross-cultural and multi-generational programs in both areas, whenever possible.”

- OMC Legacy Fund – Supports programs and activities that improve the general welfare and enhance the quality of life for youth in the greater Kenosha community.
- LaFave Family Fund – Supports programs and organizations that promote understanding, communication and a sense of tolerance between individuals and groups through education, arts and humanities.
- Women’s Fund – Supports programs that create opportunities for women and children through responsive philanthropy and community involvement.
- Arts Fund – Supports non-profit organizations that offer arts programming with the purpose of enhancing the culture, the economy, and quality of life in Kenosha County.
Eligibility Criteria

- The award can be used as a contribution to an existing project/initiative or to help start a new program/initiative.
- Not-for-profit organizations, government agencies and/or educational institutions are welcome to apply.
