Program accomplishments

  • Every organization experiences a moment that marks a significant turning point or launch point. For the Kansas Health Foundation (KHF), 2023 was such a year. If 2023 was a year of planning, 2024 has been the year those plans came to life-marking the next stage in KHF's journey to improve the health of all Kansans. In 2023, the KHF Board of Directors approved a new strategic framework to guide all our work and center our efforts on the investments and activities that can have the greatest impact on health in our state. This framework established a new three-part purpose statement: Empower Kansas to lead the nation in health Eliminate the inequities that lead to the greatest health disparities Become the model for philanthropic impact While 2023 was a year of vision and planning, 2024 became a year of action and implementation. Building on the extensive groundwork laid the year before, KHF made measurable progress in putting the strategic framework into practice. We strengthened partnerships with Kansas communities experiencing the greatest health disparities and began co-developing initiatives shaped by local priorities. We also identified and mobilized our network around several major health challenges where collective action can drive meaningful, statewide change. KHF advanced its policy and advocacy framework, supporting efforts across multiple levels to influence the systems that shape health outcomes. Beyond traditional grantmaking, we began deploying new forms of capital-through impact investments-to expand our economic reach and catalyze broader change. Significant steps were also taken to reimagine our physical campus, transforming it into both a convening space and a visible expression of Kansas' collective commitment to health. Finally, KHF implemented a refreshed approach to partnership-one grounded in mutual accountability, learning, and shared vision. Building Power The Building Power strategy advances three objectives: Strengthen KHF's commitment to racial equity. Support powerful organizations working to advance racial equity. Build long-term, trust-based partnerships. Through the Building Power and Equity Partnership (BPEP), KHF has committed to providing each of 30 grassroots partners $1 million in support over a ten-year period. Expenditure Highlights $2,950,000 in core support grants to 30 grassroots partners. $1,283,039 in grants through the Impact and Opportunity & Innovation funds to support new and existing initiatives statewide. $702,077 for program-related activities and internal operations. Strengthening BPEP Partners Organizational growth through stronger HR systems, expanded staff, and improved management capacity. Increased visibility and engagement with government officials, leading to new funding opportunities. Technical assistance support to enhance board governance, fundraising, and financial management. Participation in networking opportunities including quarterly cohort sessions, peer discussions, and coaching for organizational development.
    Expenses $4,935,116 · grants $4,233,039
  • Network Mobilization Network Mobilization is a core strategy designed to connect and activate organizations, leaders, and communities around shared goals that advance health equity across Kansas. Rather than supporting isolated efforts, KHF invests in networks that build collective capacity, coordinate strategies, and amplify impact. This work currently centers on three issue areas that address key social determinants of health: 2024: Food Insecurity 2025: Upward Mobility Expenditure Highlights $3,976,497 in grants to support Kansas' economic and social determinant initiatives and cross-state collaborations. $757,485 for program-related activities and internal operations. Launch of Hunger Free Kansas, a statewide coordinating entity to address food insecurity. Funding for the Food Secure Communities initiative in eight Kansas counties. Co-creation of the Blueprint to End Hunger with over 100 stakeholders statewide. $2 million investment in innovation and local action, supporting 100 small-scale community projects and four regional collaborations. Supported creation of a statewide landscape analysis, data walk, and crowdsourced report on hunger and food insecurity.
    Expenses $4,733,982 · grants $3,976,497
  • Policy & Systems Mobilization This strategy aims to: Simplify policy investments for greater impact. Strengthen KHF's commitment to eliminating inequities. Achieve meaningful policy outcomes that improve the health of Kansans. KHF funds multiple organizations focused on policy and systems change, fostering collaboration to amplify their collective influence. Expenditure Highlights $1,275,000 in core support grants to policy partners. $225,000 to non-core partners supporting policy initiatives statewide. $534,721 for program-related activities and internal operations. Significant Achievements Launch of Leadership in Public Service Programming in partnership with the Kansas Leadership Center-equipping newly elected officials and aspiring leaders with the skills and tools needed for public service. First Summer School for Policy Partners, a convening designed to promote collaboration, shared learning, and growth across the policy network.
    Expenses $2,034,721 · grants $1,500,000
  • Institution Building The Foundation has a long history of creating organizations focused on improving the health of Kansans. This strategy continues that tradition by supporting existing and emerging organizations aligned with KHF's mission. Expenditure Highlights A multi-year core support grant of $6,000,000 was awarded to an organization that trains and promotes leadership skills to effect change and make Kansas a healthier state. $578,178 was expended for the Foundation's program-related activities and internal operations. Significant Achievements Deepened relationships with major institutional partners. Strengthened strategic engagement through structured sessions, including strategy huddles and a monthly Touchpoints series. Conducted tailored briefings and reflective sessions with partners to align shared values and goals. Co-developed objectives and strategic framing documents to guide future collaboration. Overall, 2024 marked a year of intentional relationship-building, strategic alignment, and organizational development.
