The Koch Family Foundation's grant program aims to foster a vibrant and inclusive community within Kansas. This mission aligns with the foundation's core belief that every individual possesses unique gifts and talents. The foundation's strategic priority is to "unleash" these abilities by supporting programs that create opportunities for all people to develop their full potential and make lasting contributions to society. This theory of change suggests that by empowering individuals, the foundation can contribute to a stronger and more dynamic community. The target beneficiaries of this grant program are individuals within Kansas, although grants are awarded to charitable organizations (501(c)(3)) that serve these individuals, not directly to individuals themselves. The overarching impact goal is to enable people to reach their full potential, thereby contributing positively to society. The foundation focuses on programs that facilitate development and allow for meaningful societal contributions. The foundation prioritizes initiatives that align with its goal of individual empowerment and community building. It explicitly states what it does not fund, which helps to define its focus areas by exclusion. These excluded areas include individual support (with the exception of the Koch Scholarship Awards Program), individual schools and churches, venture capital, athletic associations, trip sponsorships, initiatives outside Kansas, political or lobbying activities, endowment funds, and capital campaigns. This indicates a focus on program-specific funding that directly impacts people's development and contribution within the state. Expected outcomes and measurable results are broadly tied to the development of abilities and the making of lasting contributions to society. While the provided text does not specify quantitative metrics, the qualitative goals are clear: fostering individual potential and societal contribution. Organizations seeking funding would likely need to demonstrate how their programs lead to these outcomes, aligning with the foundation's strategic priorities and its theory that empowering individuals strengthens the community.

This grant path supports projects focused on community violence intervention or interruption, particularly in high-risk communities. The initiatives should aim at directly engaging with individuals most likely to be involved in or affected by firearm-related harm. Projects should employ strategies like Hospital-Based Violence Intervention Programs (HVIPs) and Community-Based Intervention Programs (CVIPs) that capitalize on the "teachable moment" immediately after a youth has been involved in violence. Additionally, strategies should include violence interruption programs that provide immediate responses to shootings to prevent further violence and retaliation through community engagement events. Applicants must attend a pre-application webinar.
