Description
The Greater Kansas City Community Foundation Board Discretionary Fund pools assets entrusted by donors to address critical community needs within the Kansas City metropolitan area. For 2026, the fund is focused on supporting nonprofit organizations that help individuals and families remain stably housed and prevent displacement, especially in communities disproportionately impacted by housing instability, structural racism, and disinvestment. The grantmaking process emphasizes learning and collaboration, and grantees are expected to share updates on how funds are used. This initiative aligns with broader community goals to address disparities in housing stability, wealth accumulation, income, employment opportunities, educational attainment, and community safety.
