Kansas Senior Services Funding

Kansas Senior Services Funding is sponsored by United Way of Greater Kansas City. Nonprofit health and human service organizations serving seniors in the Kansas City metro, including Kansas counties, can seek unrestricted, one-year support for their overall mission.

Impact 100 - United Way of Greater Kansas City The Impact 100 is United Way of Greater Kansas City’s annual grant cycle, connecting Kansas City’s generosity with measurable community impact. The 2027 Impact 100 application is now closed. The newest cohort will be announced in spring of 2027.

How is the Impact 100 selected? United Way of Greater Kansas City is seeking individuals to become a Community Advisory Member to review Impact 100 grant applications. We are looking for thoughtful and reflective individuals from diverse backgrounds who share a passion for creating positive change in our community.

United Way’s Impact 100 program supports high-performing human service nonprofits by providing funding and resources as part of a collaborative network of community partners. We are seeking individuals who are genuinely interested in the health and human service landscape of the Kansas City region. We’re asking volunteers to commit to review approximately 20-30 applications over a six-week period.

You’ll have the entire six weeks to review at your own pace, and then to commit to attending a training and a review committee meeting. In January, you will meet in person with your fellow advisory members to discuss these applications together. If you are interested in serving as a Community Advisory Member, apply here .

How does United Way determine the amount of grant dollars an organization receives? A. This is based on a combination of factors, including the scores received by the organization during the application review process and organizational need: budget, funding health of the nonprofit, what its mission focus is compared with overall community need in that area.

Many other variables are also taken into consideration to ensure the Impact 100 portfolio represents an expansive geographical service area, breadth of services provided, and communities/populations supported. Q. Can two organizations apply for Impact 100 funding together?

A. While collaboration is highly encouraged, the lead nonprofit in a joint application would be the only entity eligible to receive funding. Individual projects cannot apply, only 501(c)3 organizations as an entity can submit an application.

Q. How long does an organization receive funding through the Impact 100? A.

To be highly responsive to ever-changing community needs, Impact 100 is a one-year grant cycle. Organizations must reapply for funding each year, should they wish to be eligible for continued support from United Way. Organizations who are not selected for funding one year can still reapply in subsequent years.

Q. Once the Impact 100 is selected, how does United Way work with these nonprofits beyond providing funding? A.

United Way provides many opportunities for our nonprofit partners to connect with our corporate partners and individual donors. Nonprofits participate in Waymaker TM speaking panels, impact bus tours, volunteer experiences, and special events to help our community better understand the role of their organizations and work with United Way in Kansas City’s nonprofit ecosystem.

United Way also uses its powerful brand to amplify nonprofit partners in the public domain. 2026 Impact 100 Partner List AdHoc Group Against Crime Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Kansas City Care Beyond the Boulevard CASA of Jackson, Johnson, and Wyandotte Counties Catholic Charities of Northeast KS & KC/St.
