Deadline: 29-Sep-20
Local not-for-profit organizations can now apply for 2021 grants from four of Kenosha Foundation’s Field of Interest Funds.
Kenosha Foundation is seeking proposals to be funded from the following endowment funds:
- OMC Legacy Fund
- LaFave Family Fund
- Women’s Fund
- Kenosha Arts Fund
Field of Interest Funds
The Foundation manages five Field of Interest funds – each fund was established by the Foundation’s Board of Directors for a particular philanthropic interest as specified by its creators and donors.
With investment income from the Field of Interest Funds, the Foundation awards grants to non-profit organizations within the fund’s defined area of interest:
- The Kenosha Arts Fund
- supports projects that enhance the culture, economy, and quality of life in Kenosha and have an impact on the arts and community at large.
- the Arts Fund annually awards grants to non-profit organizations for programs that enhance the culture, economy, and quality of life in Kenosha County.
- the Arts Fund is particularly interested in opportunities and creative initiatives for expanding art in Kenosha, urgent needs that sustain fledgling organizations or efforts, and/or projects that have educational value.
- The OMC Legacy Fund
- supports programs and activities designed to improve the general welfare and enhance the quality of life for youth in the Kenosha community.
- The LaFave Family Fund
- supports programs that further education – particularly by promoting the humanities, the arts, tolerance, and communication.
- The Women’s Fund
- supports programs and organizations that create opportunities for women and children.
For each of the Field of Interest Funds, the Foundation, with the aid of committees of community volunteers, operates a thoughtful, responsive, and community-based grant-making program that annually awards grant funds to local non-profit organizations. Though the purposes of the Field of Interest Funds are clearly focused, they remain flexible enough to meet community needs in the interest area—even as they change over time.
NOTE: All of the Field of Interest funds accept donations from the public.
