Administered by Kohler Foundation, this grant program supports educational and artistic activities primarily in the Sheboygan County region, with additional support for rural Wisconsin. Its rural priorities include 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, particularly work in arts, education, and STEAM—science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. Increasing access to the arts is a priority through transportation, visiting artists, distance learning, rural outreach, and technology. The foundation also values projects with a specific plan to create an impact greater than a small grant might initially suggest.
