Beyond grantmaking, KHF is constantly looking for ways to further support the communities, organizations, schools, churches and people of Kansas. Each year, we have a limited amount of funding available to sponsor events, efforts or initiatives.

If you’d like to apply for sponsorship support from KHF, please fill out the form at the bottom of the page. Applications will be reviewed monthly, and funding decisions will be made within a 12-week period.

A few notes about our decision making:

• The earlier you apply for funding, the better. If you have an event in mid-May, and the form isn’t submitted until late April, it makes it very difficult to turn around an approval in time.
• We often look for opportunities in communities that may not always be represented in our grantmaking. That means rural communities and communities in parts of the state far away from Wichita are encouraged to apply.
• Preference is given to events and efforts celebrating the rich cultural and ethnic heritage of Kansas communities.
• We rarely support traditional fundraising events such as road races or golf tournaments. Just be aware that we may only provide sponsorships to a couple of those each year.
• In an effort to support as many organizations and efforts as possible, we do give preference to sponsorship submissions that have smaller dollar requests.
• One of the questions on the application form asks for which regions of Kansas will be served by the initiative. For the purpose of this application, please refer to the Economic Development Districts outlined by the Kansas Department of Commerce. Which counties fall into which regions are indicated on this map.
• We will also evaluate submissions based on how well they fit into our strategic framework.
