Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

Adult credentialing and scholarships for Kansas City workers
Nonprofit capacity building tied to workforce and career development
Entrepreneurship ecosystems and access to capital in the Heartland
Charter and district K-12 improvement in Kansas City Public Schools
Real-world learning, internships, and college access for high schoolers
Local journalism collaboratives and civic research on entrepreneurs

Typical grant

Median grant is $75,000, with the middle half between $10,000 and $150,000. The very large checks, $2 million to $20 million, go to a handful of Kansas City institutions the foundation effectively built or sustains: Great Jobs KC, School Smart KC, the Kauffman School, Real World Initiatives, and the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation. A dense band of $175,000 to $250,000 capacity-building awards went to dozens of KC-area nonprofits in 2024, and the big local commitments repeat year over year with new grant numbers.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“support to build capacity for”
“related to workforce and career development”
“postsecondary credential or degree”
“entrepreneurial ecosystems”
“increasing access to capital and entrepreneurial education”
“2024 general operating expenses”

Positioning adjacent work

Tie research to a named theme: entrepreneurial ecosystems, real world learning, or postsecondary credential completion in KC.
Ask $150,000 to $250,000 unless you are an anchor institution; that band is where most awards sit.
Name the Kansas City metro or the Heartland as the population studied, not a national abstraction.
Frame deliverables as capacity, tools, or data a local practitioner will use, echoing NORC and Johns Hopkins grants.

Worth knowing: This is overwhelmingly a Kansas City funder: 755 of 1,358 grants went to Missouri and 194 to Kansas, and a few repeat grantees absorb most of the dollars. Out-of-region grants exist but cluster with national intermediaries on entrepreneurship policy such as National League of Cities, Global Entrepreneurship Network, and Urban Institute, which suggests relationship-driven selection rather than open competition.
