To promote economic and personal self-sufficiency and well-being of low to moderate-income persons and families through service programs, advocacy, community education, and resource development in Door, Kewaunee, Manitowoc, and Sheboygan counties, and to enable and empower persons, parents, and families through voluntary prevention, education and support programs.
Lakeshore Cap Inc of Wisconsin’s recent grantmaking centers on operating support for recovery, shelter, and violence-prevention organizations in Manitowoc and nearby counties. The largest recent grant in the data is $48,315 to Lotus Recovery Homes for operating costs, followed by $42,651 to Lighthouse Recovery Community Center Inc for operating costs. Those awards fit a broader pattern of support for organizations working with people facing housing instability, substance-use recovery, and family safety needs. The foundation’s public-facing program descriptions also point to a service model built around self-sufficiency and well-being for low- to moderate-income persons and families. Its listed activities include homelessness prevention through tenant-based rental assistance, eviction-prevention screening and assistance, employment skills support, and emergency rental aid tied to COVID-19 relief. In the grant table, recipients are concentrated in Manitowoc, with additional awards to organizations in Oconomowoc and Sheboygan. The grants shown are all to U.S. nonprofits and all are operating-cost awards, which suggests support for organizational capacity as well as direct services.
Housing stability is one of the clearest themes. The foundation lists homelessness prevention and rental assistance among its active programs, and the recent grants include $15,774 to Hope House of Manitowoc County Inc for operating costs and $11,039 to The Haven of Manitowoc County Inc for operating costs. Substance-use recovery is another visible area. Lakeshore Cap Inc of Wisconsin gave $48,315 to Lotus Recovery Homes for operating costs and $42,651 to Lighthouse Recovery Community Center Inc for operating costs, indicating direct support for recovery-oriented service providers. It also funds family safety and basic needs work. The recent grants show $12,622 to Manitowoc County Domestic Violence Center Inc and $7,895 to Salvation Army of Sheboygan County, both for operating costs. That aligns with the foundation’s stated emphasis on prevention, support programs, and community well-being in its service area.
The recent grants shown are all operating-cost awards, ranging from $7,895 to $48,315. In the seven listed grants, the median award is $15,774. The two largest awards go to recovery-related organizations, while the rest cluster in the mid-five-figure and low-five-figure range. The recipient list points to support for community organizations rather than individuals, consistent with the foundation’s public charity status and its stated beneficiary types. Several grantees are based in Manitowoc, and the data shows one grant each to Oconomowoc and Sheboygan. The grants listed are from a single year in the file, so repeated giving across multiple years cannot be inferred from this set.
