Grant Funding Amount Low: $2,000
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $7,000
Summary
This grant opportunity is offered through a community foundation that serves a rural region of Kansas, including counties such as Ellis, Rooks, and Trego. The foundation administers seasonal grant cycles (for example, a fall cycle with applications due mid-November) and opens up to $150,000 (or more, depending on fund availability) for that round.
Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, governmental entities, educational institutions, and religious institutions. Requests may also be considered from other organizations if paired with a nonprofit fiscal sponsor or using expenditure responsibility procedures. Awarded funds are meant to support local projects, programs, or capital improvements that directly benefit communities within the foundation’s service area.
The purpose of these grants is to enhance quality of life, expand organizational capacity, and seed new or underfunded initiatives. Funds may be used for operational support, project costs, outreach, staffing, equipment, or infrastructure improvements tied to clearly defined outcomes. Some specific fund streams support themes such as health, education, economic development, youth leadership, and community vitality. The distribution of funds shows its commitment to reinvesting in the region’s nonprofit ecosystem. Projects might include expanding food access programs, improving library or public spaces, supporting mental health services, or launching new community initiatives.
Applicants are required to submit detailed proposals through an online portal, including project descriptions, budgets, intended impact, and plans for evaluation. Grantees must submit final reports showing how funds were used and the outcomes achieved. The fund is intended not only to support immediate community needs but also to strengthen local nonprofits for sustained impact.
