Innovative Partnerships and Re-Imagined Spaces Projects

KCAIC will require initial applications for potential Innovative Partnerships and Re-Imagined Spaces projects. Initial applications are designed to give KCAIC the overall concept and general scope of a potential project that may still be in an early stage of development to be sure an applicant is pursing the proper application category.

Deadlines:

Initial applications for Innovative Partnerships and Re-Imagined Spaces projects will be reviewed starting in early February. Following staff review, projects will be either given access to the full application or directed to apply in a different category.

Full applications in all categories will be due Monday, March 13, 2023 for projects starting after July 1, 2023.

Please Note: In the past, KCAIC accepted a second round of applications in the fall. Due to an ongoing increase in funding requests, we do not anticipate holding a second grant round for this fiscal year. Applicants may submit numerous grant applications in this round.

Match requirements will temporarily consist of the following:

• In-kind or applicable general operating costs can count up to 75% of total match

• Cash expenses must account for at least 25% of the required match, and within that 25%, applicable general operating costs may count for 12.5% and the remaining 12.5% must be from cash expenses.

• Rural Exemption for organizations/projects in communities of 15,000 population or less: 100% in-kind for the initial $7,500. 50% in-kind for requests amounts above $7,500 (applicable to Reimagined Spaces and Innovative Partnerships only)

• Organizational Mentorship remains at 100% in-kind for all applicants. Applicants interested in this category should speak with a Field Representative for access to the application materials.

  Multiple Award Policy:

  Organizations are able to submit more than one grant application for this round. Within a given fiscal year, as well as any time a grant is active, an organization may not:

• receive multiple awards for the same project;

• have awards in any one sub category exceeding the maximum request in that subcategory;

• have total awards in all categories exceeding the maximum request in the largest subcategory ($20,000)
