GRANTS GUIDE Transforming communities in every region of Kansas # TABLE OF CONTENTS Fellow Kansans, The Kansas Department of Commerce approaches economic development from a holistic perspective, because we know the state’s continued prosperity depends on a variety of factors. Creating new jobs for Kansans by attracting new companies and helping existing businesses expand is just one part of the process.
Equally important is ensuring we have enough workers for these positions and that our communities are appealing to live in. Our aim is to bolster the quality of life on all fronts for all people who live here. Future generations are depending on us to take this charge seriously.
By supporting each city and county in Kansas, we’re transforming the places Kansans call home and building a more resilient economy statewide. Our goal is to foster strong urban, suburban and rural communities, but we know there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach that will get us there.
In recognition of this, Commerce offers a wide array of grants, programs and services to meet the needs of every region in Kansas – in a way that fits their vision This guide provides a list of financial support we offer to cities, counties and non- profits throughout the state. We want this guide to serve as a resource local leaders can use in their local development efforts.
As you read about our available grants and programs, I encourage you to reach out to our team with any questions you have about putting these resources to work for the future economic success of your communities – and Kansas. Anchored by our exceptional economic strength, strong partnerships and commitment to innovation – we will continue our historic rise to new heights all across Kansas.
And we’ll continue to usher in a bright future for everyone who calls the Sunflower State “home.
