Foundation provides nearly $1.5 million in core operating funding to 65 Kansas nonprofits
Sunflower Foundation recently awarded nearly $1.5 million in grants to help support the core operating capacities of 65 organizations serving nearly two-thirds of Kansas counties so they can better meet the critical health needs of their communities.
This initiative strengthens the capacity of nonprofits to fulfill their missions, serve their communities and bolster their impact. The grant program also provides nonprofits with opportunities to attend high-caliber learning collaboratives and skill-building workshops supported by Sunflower staff.
“Nonprofits are the lifeline of our communities,” said Sunflower Foundation President and CEO Billie Hall, adding that this type of funding will continue to be a priority for the foundation. “We are honored to call these organizations partners in our mission to improve the health and well-being of all Kansans. While the need for strong nonprofits is essential to communities, unfortunately, opportunities to secure valuable core operating funds remains limited.”
