Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation Information

Everything we do is grounded in the generosity and love for Kansas City that Mr. Kauffman infused into the heart of our mission. Our vision, strategy, and partnerships embody his intent and commitment to the community. That is why we are dedicated to advancing equitable access to opportunity and spurring economic growth. We work in Kansas City, the surrounding states of Missouri and Kansas, and share our learnings nationally. We champion organizations and communities that test innovative solutions and seek to change conditions. Our grantmaking to nonprofit organizations connects students, educators, families, and small business owners with practical solutions and resources to realize their ambitions. As a result, new businesses and a stronger workforce of skilled individuals drive regional economic growth and set us all on a path to greater financial stability, upward mobility, and economic prosperity. We are a private, nonpartisan foundation. Our work is grounded in the principles of racial equity, diversity, and inclusion and is consistent with the aspirations of our founder, Ewing Marion Kauffman.
