About Fk Bemis Family Foundation

A Million Dreamz Inc received the foundation’s largest recent grant, $100,000 in 2023, underscoring how Fk Bemis Family Foundation Inc backs youth-centered community work in Sheboygan. The pattern is local and concentrated: many of the biggest awards go to Sheboygan-based nonprofits, with repeated support over multiple years for groups such as A Million Dreamz Inc, John Michael Kohler Arts Center, United Way of Sheboygan County, and Lakeland University. That mix points to a funder that balances direct service, arts and preservation, and education within a tight geographic footprint. The foundation’s recent awards also show a preference for sustained relationships rather than scattered one-time gifts. Several recipients appear in consecutive years, and multiple organizations receive support for related purposes across time, including youth programs, scholarship support, community preservation, and local capacity-building. Awards range from modest five-figure grants to larger commitments above $50,000, with the largest recent gifts aimed at organizations serving children, families, and community institutions in Sheboygan and nearby Wisconsin communities. Across the recent record, the foundation’s role is clearly local: it funds established community anchors as well as smaller groups working directly with children, students, and residents.

Earlier gifts to A Million Dreamz Inc and Boys & Girls Clubs of Sheboygan County show the same emphasis on programs for children and families. Arts and cultural preservation is another visible area. The foundation gave $57,500 in 2023 and again in 2024 to John Michael Kohler Arts Center for community and preserve-related purposes, and it added $11,000 to Sheboygan Symphony in 2024 for arts and culture.
