Description
The Flint Hills Community Fund’s Community & Rural Programs opportunity is administered by the Emporia Community Foundation (ECF). It supports nonprofit work in three areas: community and rural development, museums and historic preservation, and agriculture and conservation. The program aims to address existing and emerging community issues, bringing community development, preservation of history, and agricultural and conservation work together in one grant opportunity.
Grants are awarded annually using a portion of the Flint Hills Community Fund’s annual distributions. Geographic eligibility rotates among designated Kansas counties rather than covering all counties each year. Greenwood County is the designated county for 2027, following Chase County’s 2026 cycle.
