Description
Central Kansas Community Foundation (CKCF) and its affiliate foundations support charitable projects in the communities they serve. Funding is offered through competitive grant cycles, discretionary or designated grants, and, for some funds, a Letter of Inquiry process. Competitive grantmaking follows quarterly cycles, with each opportunity tied to an affiliate’s geographic area, available funds, and purpose. Applications are reviewed collectively after the application window closes.
CKCF is incorporating the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals into its grantmaking categories and impact mapping. Its stated focus includes reducing inequalities in health, education, and the economy, alongside climate and environmental improvements. Individual opportunities support work such as community health and wellness, classroom needs, innovative education, and projects directly benefiting Harvey County communities.
