KCF offers two grant opportunities to support nonprofit organizations and strengthen our community: the CBK Small Grants Program and the KCF Competitive Grant Cycle.
The KCF Competitive Grant Cycle combines the previously separate Unrestricted and Field of Interest grant programs, providing funding across a broad range of areas, including education, arts, youth development, health, human services, entrepreneurship, and the natural environment.
Application periods:
