Description
The Flint Hills Community Fund’s Community & Rural Programs grant is administered by Emporia Community Foundation (ECF). It uses a portion of the fund’s annual distributions to support nonprofit projects addressing existing and emerging community issues. Its three priority areas are community and rural development, museums and historic preservation, and agriculture and conservation.
The program brings community development, historical resources, and agricultural and conservation work together within a geographically rotating grant opportunity. Grants are awarded annually to applicants in a designated Kansas county, rather than across all participating counties each year. Greenwood County is designated for 2027. ECF describes its grants generally as modest.
