Spencer Fane is excited to announce it is now accepting applicants for its 2027 Charitable Grant Program in Kansas City.
The Spencer Fane Charitable Grant Program supports Kansas City-based nonprofit arts organizations through a $50,000 donation paid in installments over the course of three years. The rotational program has one new recipient entering each year as a previously selected organization exits upon the completion of its three-year cycle.
This program seeks to provide necessary financial assistance to deserving organizations while fostering strong, meaningful community relationships. Simultaneously, Spencer Fane hopes to promote involvement among its professionals and encourage long-standing relationships which mutually benefit causes close to the firm and the selected organizations.
To be considered as a 2027 applicant, an organization must:
- Have a strong focus on the arts in Kansas City and a positive, community-driven mission;
- Have a financial need for the funds which the grant will significantly impact; and
- Preferably offer the firm and its employees unique and creative ways to become involved.
Current and past recipients include Owen/Cox Dance Group, The Arts Asylum, The Coterie, Band of Angels, The Folly Theater, Midwest Music Foundation, Charlotte Street Foundation, Crossroads Preparatory Academy, Lyric Opera Kansas City, Kansas City Friends of Alvin Ailey, Heart of America Shakespeare Festival, ArtsKC-Regional Arts Council, and Kansas City Art Institute.
