Two grant types, Kickstart and Impact, offer funding for both small, but highly impactful projects and large-scale infrastructure improvements. The purpose of these grants is to empower Kansas communities to plan, implement, and sustain quality of place projects that foster engagement, pride, volunteerism, and long-term community vitality.
The goals of these grants are to: • Support community-identified priorities that strengthen quality of place and enhance local pride. • Empower volunteer-led groups by providing resources that build capacity, momentum, and long-term sustainability. • Improve public spaces and community assets through visible, meaningful, and locally driven projects.
• Increase community engagement and participation, particularly by involving diverse groups (youth, seniors, civic groups, etc.). • Foster equitable investment in communities of all sizes, especially small rural communities with limited access to funding. • Promote long-term community vitality through projects that create lasting benefits and strengthen community identity.

In January 2026, DOE Policy Flash PF-2026-30 wiped out every 15% and 10% indirect cost cap the administration had imposed in 2025 — because H.R. 6938 ordered it to. The same law froze indirect policy at NSF, Commerce and NASA. But OMB's sweeping new grants rule quietly reopens the fight through the back door. Here is what changed, what money recipients can claw back, and how to protect your indirect recovery going forward.
