Kohler Foundation’s grant program supports educational and artistic activities primarily in the Sheboygan County region, while also considering arts and education programs throughout rural Wisconsin. Particular attention goes to rural communities that have received investment through other Foundation programs, such as Art Preservation, and places with little other philanthropic capital available.
The program favors new projects and programs, including STEAM initiatives spanning science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. Another priority is increasing access to the arts through transportation, visiting artists, distance learning, rural outreach, and technology. The grant committee is especially interested in programs with a specific plan to achieve an impact greater than a small grant might initially suggest.
