About this grant
The program goal is to encourage community foundations to advance the Sustainable Development Goals at the local level. To this end last year, the Kansas Association of Community Foundations prominently included content on the goals and their adoption by community foundations at its annual national Growing Community Foundations Conference. The grantee also added a module on the goals to its CFExpressTraining online resource. Over the next 16 months, the grantee will create a learning collaborative of five rural community foundations from Kansas that will work together to apply the goals in their communities. Progress and results will be shared at annual Growing Community Foundations conferences over the next three years. Founded in 2005, the Kansas Association of Community Foundations strengthens and promotes community philanthropy in Kansas, educates its members and others on effective philanthropic operations and fosters collaboration and the exchange of information regarding philanthropic programs and issues.
