WICHITA, Kan. – Applications are now being accepted for the Kansas Health Foundation 2026 Upward Mobility Transformation Fund.

This grant program is intended to support bold, scalable ideas to accelerate progress on the issue of upward mobility in Kansas. Through a year-long listening and learning process, and for the purpose of this funding opportunity, upward mobility is defined as the opportunity to stabilize, thrive and build a better future over time.

“As we look at ways to improve health in Kansas, topics that come up time after time include income inequality, workforce opportunities and general financial struggles,” said Lindsay Wilke, associate director of network mobilization at KHF. “We believe funding from this program can serve as a catalytic investment to game-changing efforts across the state.”

Interested organizations should visit KHF’s website at kansashealth.org to learn more. Applications will be accepted through July 14.
