Today the Kansas City Regional COVID-19 Response and Recovery Fund announced its fourth round of grants, which provide more than $1.7 million to 63 organizations across the Kansas City region. This brings the total grants from the Fund to more than $10 million.
The Fund provides grants to nonprofit organizations that have experience supporting impacted communities—particularly those that are disproportionately affected by this public health crisis and its economic consequences. Nearly $18 million has been donated so far to the Fund with $10 million distributed through the first four rounds.
Additional grants will be released on a rolling basis as fundraising continues and needs are identified throughout all phases of the crisis.
