Guidance for our grant application and management.

Starting in 2026, we will begin offering multiyear, unrestricted operational grants to provide some nonprofits with stronger, more sustainable support. To make this possible, our funding calendar will adjust so that half of our focus areas are eligible each year, allowing us to build a multiyear cadence, deepen relationships, and create more sustainable support for nonprofit partners. This shift is based on partner feedback, philanthropy trends, and our commitment to clearer expectations, stronger collaboration, and long-term impact.

For nonprofit (501c3) organizations seeking funding from Kronkosky, we invite you to apply via our online grant platform here. For more help and information about applying see our how to apply page.

We have dedicated community investment partners for each of our areas of focus to answer your questions:

Anna-Melissa Cavazos: Individuals with Disabilities, and Children
Brianna Simmons: Youth, Nature & Animals
Tom Karger: Aging Adults, Treatment of Cancer, Substance Use
Lori Stinson: Arts & Culture and Mental Health

Charitable gifts are considered for organizations that meet the giving criteria described below. Please review and confirm that your organization meets our eligibility requirements before submitting a request on our online application, the Profound Good Platform (PGP). If you have questions regarding the eligibility requirements, please e-mail your existing Community Investment Partner or grants@kronkosky.org before submitting your request online.

After creating an account and completing your organization profile in our online grant platform, you can save your application as you go and finish at a later date.

You will be kept up to date throughout the grant application process, including a Community Investment Partner (CIP) scheduling time to connect after the grant consideration form is submitted and before the application is complete.

Once the application is submitted, you will be notified if your organization will receive grant funding on the day of the Decision Committee meeting. At any time during that process, you can reach out to your CIP to touch base and receive updates.

You can view the status of your applications by logging into your account and navigating to the “my applications” tab on the main toolbar.
