Description
Kenosha Community Foundation’s Competitive Grants combine the former Unrestricted and Field of Interest grant programs into one annual competitive cycle. The program supports nonprofit work serving Kenosha County across education, arts and culture, youth development, health, human services, entrepreneurship, and stewardship of the natural environment. Its component funds address distinct community priorities, including cultural life, educational opportunity, youth welfare, opportunities for women and children, and services that help elderly and disabled residents remain safely in their homes.
Unrestricted funding provides flexibility to respond to evolving community needs. Alongside programs and projects, it may support operational expenses or essential facility maintenance when those needs directly advance an organization’s mission and community impact. The consolidated cycle encourages organizations with diverse programming and operational needs to apply.
