EMERGING REGION!
Greater Kansas City AFN is a network of grantmakers working together to expand financial security and opportunity for all. By strengthening connections among private, public, and philanthropic funders, we amplify impact and drive solutions that promote equitable wealth-building.
Through ongoing collaboration, we aim to share insights on promising programs and effective strategies, improve grantmaking practices, collectively increase asset-building investments, and fuel initiatives that create lasting economic stability in our region.
Greater Kansas City AFN facilitates connections among funders, nonprofits, and the public and private sectors.

How We Work
-
Inform: Highlight promising practices, key issues, and innovations in the field through funder-only dialogues as well as other convenings. Members provide an insightful regional voice to inform national conversations.
-
Connect: Members learn from each other and from other organizations as they seek solutions to local challenges related to the regional focus areas.
- Influence: Engage key stakeholders to grow their knowledge and support. This includes efforts to raise the visibility of asset-building within the broader community of foundations, public-sector funders, and financial institutions.
-
Build: We seek to build the number of grantmakers and resources focused on strategies and investments for low and moderate income people to build and protect assets increasing economic opportunities and prosperity.
