Impact KC is inviting applications from nonprofits that serve in the metropolitan Kansas City area for various projects.
Areas of Interest
Impact KC makes grants across a wide range of areas, with an emphasis on providing funds that will have a substantive impact on a tangible project or defined purpose. Some of the areas are:
- Aging
- Arts and culture
- Community development
- Education/Youth services
- Health and life sciences
- Social services/Families
Impact KC may ask for one to two site visits during the evaluation period. If Impact KC has any questions regarding your proposal, a member of the Steering Committee may contact you via phone or letter requesting further information or an appointment for a site visit.
Impact KC’s main event each year is the Shark Tank, a chance for finalists to present their projects to a panel of experts and the members at large. Unlike the popular TV show, however, Impact KC’s Shark Tank is an informal evening of food and drink, conversation, and an opportunity to see how Kansas City’s nonprofit organizations serve the community.
At the end of the evening, members cast their votes. Winners are later celebrated in a final event of the year.
