Major Initiatives | Recognition Grants | Other Grants


The Foundation's grant making falls into three different categories of grants: major initiatives, recognition grants and other grants. While each of these three types of grants are different in scope and resources, all grants given by the Foundation are for the goal of meeting its mission to improve the health of all Kansans.

Major Initiatives
These major initiatives are approved by the board of directors and represent the largest percentage of grant money given each year. Developed strategically and proactively, these initiatives are the key driving forces for the Foundation to achieve its mission and they are consistent with the Foundation's six focus areas. For a complete list of recent initiatives, please click here.

Recognition Grants
These grants expand the Foundation's support to a broad range of health-related organizations throughout the state. While the majority of the Foundation's funding is through invited proposals, the recognition grants program is designed to fund unsolicited requests, and is specifically targeted for organizations and agencies doing innovative and meaningful work that fits within the Foundation's mission.

Other Grants
In addition to our major initiatives and recognition grants, which together form the bulk of the Foundation's yearly giving, other grants awarded in 2008, are listed here.
