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

Construction and renovation of nonprofit and hospital facilities
Health system capital projects: cancer center, behavioral health hospital, clinics
Higher education and community college buildings in Kansas and Missouri
Affordable housing, shelters, food banks, transitional living facilities
Block transfers to donor advised funds at community foundations
Youth and family center construction in Kansas City metro

Typical grant

Median grant is $250,000 with the middle half between $100,000 and $925,000, so a request in the low six figures fits the everyday pattern. The eight-figure checks all go to named capital projects at large anchor institutions: $25M twice to KU Endowment for the cancer center, $20M to Children's Mercy for a behavioral health hospital, $10M to UMKC for a health building. Repeat giving is common and often structured as multi-year pledge installments, with descriptions literally reading "PAYMENT"; KU Endowment, Greater Kansas City Community Foundation, and Children's Mercy appear multiple times.

Their words

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

“CONSTRUCT”
“RENOVATE”
“EXPAND AND RENOVATE”
“CAPITAL CAMPAIGN”
“FACILITY”

Positioning adjacent work

Lead with a building, not a program. Nearly every grant description names construction, renovation, or expansion of physical space.
Connect adjacent research to a facility need: lab, clinic, imaging suite, training center. See KU, UMKC, Northwest Foundation.
Ask $100,000 to $500,000 for a discrete renovation; reserve seven and eight figures for named anchor-institution buildings.
Name the building and the campaign in your project title. Their own descriptions read like construction line items.

Worth knowing: This is a Kansas City metro funder first, with 398 of 599 grants in Missouri and Kansas, plus a real secondary cluster in Puget Sound (65 Washington grants, including Seattle Foundation and United Way of King County) and a Nebraska tail. A meaningful share of dollars leaves through $4M blocks to donor advised funds at Greater Kansas City Community Foundation, Seattle Foundation, Goldman Sachs Philanthropy Fund, Amalgamated, and ImpactAssets, so the visible grant list understates how much giving is directed through existing relationships.
