Grantham University Grant Program Accepting Applications from Local Nonprofits

Applications for $3,000 grants due June 1; $30,000 to be awarded in total

Grantham University, an online university, has announced that its Grantham Gives Back Fund that awards approximately $30,000 in grants to nonprofit organizations around the Kansas City, Missouri, metro area, is accepting applications through June 1. The program, which is funded primarily by Grantham employee donations and matched by the University, typically awards $30,000 in grants to approximately 10 organizations twice a year. Grantham Gives Back has awarded more than $175,000 since 2017. Interested nonprofits can fill out the short application at www.grantham.edu/giveback.

The Grantham Gives Back program combines volunteerism, donation drives and an employee-funded grant program that enriches the lives of the most vulnerable in Kansas City. The last grant round, which ended in February, awarded 10 winners with $3,000 each and one winner with $2,350.

“Since our founding 70 years ago, Grantham has strived to provide a culture of service and giving back both internally and externally,” said Lindsay Bridgeman, interim president of Grantham University. “Thanks to the generosity of our employees, we are able to help local organizations provide food, housing, education and emotional support to Kansas City area residents.”
