Foundations that fund legal aid and crime prevention in Kansas
These 16 foundations made grants to legal aid and crime prevention in Kansas in the most recent IRS filing I have for each. None of them ticked the box for giving only to preselected organizations, and each filing gives application instructions or a website. That doesn't prove a foundation takes applications, and some on this list may not. The text below is copied from the filings, most of them for tax year 2024, so check a foundation's website or call before you apply.
