Reviewer 7881 - Grant Applicant - applied in 2024

The staff at the Kenneth King Foundation are very proactive in providing access to their application guidelines and process, running several webinars and asking prospective applicants to schedule a meeting with them before applying. Access to their grant portal is only extended following this meeting to those who seem to be a good fit. This saves a lot of time and agony, as the Foundation's grant guidelines are somewhat narrow and this way you can find out if you are a possible fit (or not) before starting to work on the application. So just keep that in mind as you are researching the Kenneth King Foundation.

Pros

Risk taker, Openminded, Responsive

Kenneth King Foundation staff have pre-application discussions to identify whether programs/organizations are a fit with their funding priority. This is a helpful step because it saves applicant and reviewers time, so I encourage you to reach out to them to schedule a time to talk because they accept proposals by-invitation only.

The grant application is similar to the Colorado Common Grant. There is enough character space for reasonable responses. There is not a focus on DEI, which is a bonus. The staff are very nice and you should probably give them a call before you apply.

Pros

Friendly, "Gets" nonprofits and issues
