, has given $1.25 million to a vast array of 78 arts nonprofits across the United States. The grants have been given out in increments of $10,000, $20,000, and $50,000, depending on the organization’s operating budget.
The foundation’s grants are unusual in that they are unrestricted, meaning that they can go toward anything required to keep an arts organization afloat, including operational expenses. Traditionally, most art-world philanthropy is given for specific programmatic endeavors, primarily to mount exhibitions or produce catalogues.
DeYoung Kohler was a major patron of the arts in the Midwest, having served as chairman of the Wisconsin Arts Board and as a panel member for the National Endowment of the Arts. In 1983, she set up the RKD Foundation, which acted as a way for her to give privately to various arts organizations in the Midwest and elsewhere in the country. Over the course of nearly four decades, that foundation doled out more than $20 million.
Enacted almost like a chain letter, in which artists Patterson knew would then refer other artists to participate, the nomination form involved three “straightforward” questions, Patterson said, that were along the lines of “Name an organization that just gets it” and “Name an organization where you’ve been treated with respect.”
