The Community Foundation of Southeast Kansas is now accepting applications for the 2026 Knights of Columbus grant cycle.

This is aimed at supporting programs across the region. The funding focuses on helping low-income families, seniors and individuals with needs like housing, utilities and health services. Officials say the grant program has already awarded more than $250,000 since it began.

Applications are open through the end of the month, and organizers say the goal is to continue addressing some of the most pressing needs facing Southeast Kansas families. Community leaders encourage local nonprofits and organizations to apply as the region continues to look for ways to expand services and support residents.
