- A non-arts organization – regardless of budget size or mission – with a community-based arts program that provides access to arts and culture opportunities in traditional and non-traditional sites throughout the greater Kansas City area.
NOTE: In 2022, the Foundation structure transitioned from a community board to a family board and granting priorities and strategies changed; however, our investment in the Small Arts Grants Fund will continue unchanged.
