Help us reach our Phase I goal of $7,000,000!

We’re In!
Help Us Finish What We Started.

BASE has officially moved into our new home at 1233 Janesville Avenue—a milestone made possible by the generous support of the Fort Atkinson Community Foundation and many others who believe in our mission. This new space, the former Johnson Hill Press building, marks the beginning of a bold new chapter for BASE.

Thanks to a $2.75 million grant from FACF for Phase I of our Future Home project, we’ve taken a major step forward. But our work is far from over. We’re continuing to raise funds toward our $12.5 million campaign goal to fully renovate and transform the building into a vibrant, permanent hub for youth, families, and the wider Fort Atkinson community.

Once fully realized, this expanded facility will include:

  • Dedicated spaces for early childhood education

  • Youth programming areas tailored by age group

  • A welcoming and safe teen center

  • A community gym for recreation and events

  • A commercial kitchen to support food education and community meals

  • An engaging outdoor recreation area

We’re here—and the vision is becoming real.
Now we invite you to help build what’s next.
