Ideal Applicant
A regionally focused nonprofit or institution with ties to southeastern Kansas that works in education, health/hospitals, addiction recovery, scholarships, or community services and can demonstrate local impact and capacity to manage grants.
Good Fit
- • Organizational presence or programs in southeastern Kansas (KS)
- • Project aligned with education, hospital/health initiatives, or addiction recovery
- • Capacity to use a range of grant sizes (from small operating grants up to mid-six-figure capital awards)
- • A local referral, prior relationship, or track record with regional community funders
- • Ability to submit a concise written request with clear budget and outcomes
Geography
Grants reached recipients in eight states in the latest year, but roughly three quarters of dollars stayed in Kansas, indicating a strong regional focus centered on southeastern Kansas.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 37 distinct recipients in the latest year across multiple sectors (education, hospitals, addiction recovery, community organizations), and funded dozens of independent organizations rather than a single beneficiary.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows six new recipients in 2023 (about 16%), and the foundation provides a public submission route of written requests; however most dollars go to repeat grantees and selection appears relationship-influenced, so new entrants are possible but not clearly frequent.
