2026 Community Impact Mini-Grant Grantee Announcement
Elevate Kansas is excited to announce the recipients of the 2026 Community Impact Mini Grants. These grants support short-term, community-led projects that focus on coalition capacity building, youth engagement, youth mental health and well-being, and tobacco prevention and cessation.
Administered by Wichita State University Community Engagement Institute in partnership with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment Bureau of Health Promotion, this program provides flexible funding to support prevention and health promotion efforts across Kansas. Twenty organizations were selected to receive $1,000 mini-grants to fund locally led activities aligned with these goals.
These mini grants also support the broader purpose of Elevate Kansas: strengthening community health coalitions across the state by connecting leaders, sharing resources, and supporting locally driven solutions that improve the health of Kansans.
