Open Funding Inquiry

Throughout each year, KHF routinely receives emails and phone calls asking to meet with a staff member to tell us about something that’s being developed or to ask for grant funding. We truly wish we could meet with everyone and fulfill all of those requests. But, as a small organization, that’s simply not possible.

At the same time, we know people and organizations across Kansas have great ideas on how to improve the health of our state, and we never want to miss out on an opportunity to support game-changing progress just because of busy schedules. So, this is the place to share those ideas. Maybe it’s a project you’ve been dreaming of doing. A collaboration you want to seed. A program that’s been successful and now needs to expand. This is where you can let us know about your vision, your project, or your goal.

Once these ideas are submitted, they will be reviewed by KHF staff to determine if there’s a potential partnership that could be pursued. After the review, a member of our team may reach out to learn more. Or, if we know right away that we’re not able to support the idea, or that it doesn’t fit within our strategic framework, we will let you know as quickly as possible. We want to respect your time and effort, and if there’s not a potential partnership, we want you to know as soon as possible.

Please note, this is not a grant application. This submission is not directly a request for funding. Instead, it’s a simple form to share what you’re working on, tell us how you think KHF may be able to help.

To hear more about the purpose of this form, please watch the video below. Then, we invite you to submit your idea, using the form. Thank you!
