Due Dates

In an effort to streamline the grant application process, our team has updated our grant deadlines for the rest of 2024. Please see below for the updated grant application deadlines.

A member of our Community Impact Team will follow up within two weeks of the review date unless otherwise noted. KZCF generally considers one comprehensive Grant Request per organization on an annual basis.

Your Grant Request must be completed in one session; you will not be able to save and return to the online form later. We recommend you answer the questions in a document first, then copy and paste it to the online form. A Grant Request template is available for download here.

Note: We recommend a maximum of 400 words per question. This is a recommendation, not a requirement. You will receive a copy of your Grant Request by email shortly after it has been submitted.
