Overview

Field of Interest Grants The Foundation manages several 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 a portion of their annual investment income, the Foundation awards grants from several Field of Interest Funds to non-profit organizations within their defined area of interest: ANVK Field of Interest Endowment Fund supports services for elderly and/or disabled residents of Kenosha, particularly homebound, with the goal of enhancing a person’s health and safety to assist them to live and remain in their home. Kenosha Arts Fund supports projects that enhance Kenosha’s culture, economy, and quality of life and impact the arts and community at large. 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. LaFave Family Fund supports programs that further education – particularly by promoting the humanities, the arts, tolerance, and communication. Women’s Fund supports programs and organizations that create opportunities for women and children. For each Field of Interest Fund, 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 focused, they remain flexible enough to meet community needs in the interest area—even as they change over time.
