Arts of Life to receive $10,000 grant from Ruth Foundation for the Arts

Arts of Life is thrilled to have been selected for an inaugural $10,000 grant from the Ruth Foundation for the Arts.

According to the New York Times:

“New foundations spring up all the time, but rarely on the scale of the Ruth Foundation for the Arts, which was established this year and announces its first grants this week.

Funded by a $440 million bequest from Ruth DeYoung Kohler II, the foundation immediately enters the highest echelons of arts philanthropy. Kohler, who died in 2020 after a career of nurturing self-taught artists, was a scion of the Wisconsin bathroom-fixture fortune, as a member of the eponymous founding family of the Kohler company.

The foundation, based in Milwaukee, is planning to give away between $17 to $20 million a year. “They will be right up there at the top,” said Joel Wachs, the president of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. His foundation gives away around $17 million a year, he said.

The Ruth Foundation’s initial round of giving spreads $1.25 million among 78 different nonprofit organizations in the visual and performing arts. It plans to make another round of donations this fall and in spring 2023.”
