Every thriving community starts with a leader who has hope for what’s possible ‒ safer streets, improved public spaces, better housing, and stronger local economies. You have ideas to improve your town or community, but turning those ideas into reality requires funding.
Community development grants are designed to help Kansas communities grow, revitalize, and prosper. If you’re a city official, nonprofit leader, or housing developer looking to make a lasting impact, SCKEDD is your guide to securing funding that drives real change.

- Economic Development Grants – Designed to create jobs and strengthen local businesses, these grants support workforce training, business expansion, and community investment.
- Housing Grants – Ensuring safe, affordable housing, these grants assist with rehabilitation projects, home repairs, and housing development.
Each grant has specific eligibility requirements and deadlines. SCKEDD helps you understand which opportunities align with your project and how to apply successfully.
Take the First Steps to Secure Grant Funding
Applying for a grant may seem overwhelming, but with the right guidance, you can secure the funding your community needs. Here’s how to get started:
- Determine Your Eligibility – Review grant requirements to see which options align with your project’s goals.
- Gather Necessary Documentation – Most applications require financial details, project plans, and community impact statements.
- Submit a Strong Application – Clearly explain how your project benefits the community and aligns with the grant’s purpose.
- Work with SCKEDD for Guidance – Our team helps you navigate the process and strengthen your application for the best chance of success.
Tip: Many grants have annual deadlines, so planning ahead can make a big difference.
Your community deserves progress, not roadblocks. Hope, not uncertainty.
Without funding, vital projects stall, and opportunities fade. But with the right support, you can secure the funding needed to improve public services, revitalize neighborhoods, and create lasting impact.
