Deadline: 31-Aug-21
The Kansas Health Foundation (KHF) is inviting proposals for its 2021 Impact and Capacity Grants (ICG) Initiative with the mission to improve the health of all Kansans and envisions a culture in which every Kansan can make healthy choices where they live, work and play.
The focus of this grant opportunity is to make progress in KHF’s impact areas:
- access to care
- healthy behaviors
- civic and community engagement
- educational attainment
KHF will consider proposals that support either impactful projects or organizational capacity-building efforts from eligible, mission-aligned organizations actively working within one or more of the stated impact-areas; and, ultimately, contributing to reducing health disparities and promoting health equity.
Organizations may apply for a grant from one of two categories:
- Impact Grants: A health policy, systems or environmentally-focused (PSE) effort which demonstrates the opportunity to address health disparities in one or more of the impact areas and affects those who systematically experience greater obstacles to health. Available funding is designed to support new or expanded efforts.
- Capacity Building Grants: Internal capacity building needs of eligible, mission-aligned organizations rooted in their communities, that are addressing health disparities which adversely affect Kansans who have systematically experienced greater obstacles to health based on their race, ethnicity, education or income level, or geography.
Funding Information
- The maximum grant size is $25,000, and
- The maximum grant term is two years.
Eligibility Criteria
- Eligible organizations are Kansas nonprofits classified as:
-
- Tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code – sub-sections 509(a)(1) or 509(a)(2)
- Government entity with a Federal Employer Identification number
- Church with a Group Ruling Letter
- Organizations that do not meet this eligibility criteria may work with an eligible fiscal sponsor to submit a proposal.
