The Andrews Family Foundation
The organization is a private foundation focused on charitable giving, particularly in the areas of education, community action, and religious initiatives. Its mission appears to center on supporting educational institutions and faith-based organizations, as evidenced by its funding patterns. The foundation has made significant grants to various nonprofits, including the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation and the University of Notre Dame. In 2023, the foundation is in the process of dissolution, having transferred its remaining assets to another charitable organization. Historically, it has primarily served recipients within the Kansas City area.

Ideal Applicant
A Kansas City / Missouri nonprofit with a demonstrated fit to the foundation's past priorities (education, religious/faith‑based work, and local community action), preferably with an existing relationship or referral to the named officers.
Good Fit
- • Located in Kansas City or elsewhere in Missouri.
- • Mission areas matching past grants: education, religious/faith-based programs, or community action.
- • An existing relationship, referral, or prior contact with the foundation officers or the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation.
- • Ability to accept large or restricted transfers (in cases of endowment or dissolution distributions).
Geography
Giving history spans multiple states in 2022 but the latest year shows a single in‑state transfer to a Kansas City recipient; overall footprint is primarily state/regional rather than national.
Recipient Variety
The prior year included ten distinct recipients across mission areas, but the most recent year shows only one grant tied to dissolution, so observed variety is mixed across the two available years.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of regular turnover or open competitive intake is limited; however, the filing lists application notes, a rolling deadline, and a named contact/letter route, which make entry plausible but not clearly broad or actively solicited.
