Summary
This annual grant opportunity provides funding to nonprofit organizations serving the greater Kansas City metropolitan area, encompassing both Missouri and Kansas counties. The program is managed through a community foundation that administers multiple donor-supported grant funds, each designed to strengthen local nonprofits, promote equity, and support initiatives that improve quality of life across the region.
Eligible applicants must be 501(c)(3) public charities based in or serving the Kansas City area. The annual grant cycle focuses on programs that create measurable community impact in areas such as education, youth development, human services, racial equity, and neighborhood revitalization. Each funding stream supports specific missions, allowing organizations to select the grant that best fits their goals and geographic service area.
Grant awards typically range from $500 to $15,000 for smaller, grassroots, or equity-focused projects, and from $10,000 to $30,000 for more established organizations delivering measurable outcomes in youth, education, or social service programs. Some annual opportunities prioritize Black-led, women-led, or culturally specific organizations that serve underrepresented populations.
Funds may be used for project implementation, expansion of programs, capacity building, equipment or technology, staffing, and other program-related expenses. The grants are not intended for endowments, general fundraising, scholarships, or capital campaigns.
As an annual opportunity, this program operates on a recurring schedule each year, allowing organizations to plan and reapply as they develop and refine their community initiatives. Applicants are encouraged to demonstrate collaboration, sustainable outcomes, and alignment with the foundation’s focus areas.
