Description
Kohler Foundation Grants are designed to make small, high-impact investments in educational and artistic activities, with a primary focus on Sheboygan County and rural communities across Wisconsin. The program aims to support new and innovative projects in the fields of arts and education, including STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) initiatives, efforts to increase access to the arts, and projects that leverage a modest grant for broader community benefit. The Foundation favors new programs and projects, especially those serving areas with limited philanthropic resources. Grants are typically awarded to tax-exempt public charities, schools, or governmental entities and are not intended for general operating support, capital campaigns, fundraising drives, or event sponsorships.
