Ideal Applicant
Small-to-midsize community nonprofits in Wichita/Sedgwick County or broader Kansas working in general support areas such as churches, public radio, arts, women’s health, education or local social services.
Good Fit
- • Based in Wichita or elsewhere in Kansas (local presence or programs).
- • Seeks modest general operating or program support (grants in the $2K–$15K range).
- • Mission aligns with previous recipients (churches, public radio, arts, women’s health, libraries, education).
- • Can demonstrate local impact and history or a prior relationship with the foundation or its community.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Kansas (about 84% of 2024 dollars) with only occasional out-of-state awards; the latest year shows recipients in just two states.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded eight distinct organizations in 2024 and typically 11 in prior years, spanning churches, public radio, arts, health and education; the portfolio is modest but not limited to a single beneficiary.
New Applicants
Filings include a clear application route (December 1 deadline, named contact, 'any form acceptable') which supports external access, but recent giving shows returning grantees and no new recipients in 2024, so openness to unfamiliar applicants is plausible but not strongly demonstrated.
