Kauffman Foundation

About Kauffman Foundation

We seek to prepare people for success in their jobs and careers, so that everyone has the opportunity to achieve economic stability, mobility, and prosperity. Rooted in Kansas City, we use our grantmaking, research, programs, and initiatives to support the start and growth of new businesses, a more prepared workforce, and stronger communities.

We champion organizations and communities that address root causes, test innovative solutions, and seek to change conditions. We share what we learn nationwide through programs, research, and policy, and leverage the best of our national work to better inform and support our primary focus: the six-county Kansas City region.

Our grantmaking to nonprofit organizations connects students, educators, families, and entrepreneurs with practical solutions and resources to realize their ambitions. As a result, new businesses and a stronger supply of skilled individuals drive regional economic growth and sets us all on a path to stronger communities.

We are a private, nonpartisan foundation. Our work is grounded in the principles of racial equity, diversity, and inclusion and is consistent with the aspirations of our founder, Ewing Marion Kauffman.
