The Foundation states that it will make multiple grants of up to $5,000 each. The number of awards depends on available annual funding. The 2027 cycle is open from August 21 through October 4, 2026. The current official grant page does not publish an exact closing clock time or time zone, so Atlas does not infer either.
Eligibility and selection
The program invites local nonprofit organizations to seek support for the creation or expansion of initiatives that directly improve the quality of life of children and adolescents in Marion County. The Foundation says proposals are evaluated based on community need, the number of youth served, the long-term impact enabled by the grant, and the uniqueness of the project.
Healthcare and youth-wellness relevance
Recent Kiwanis grant history establishes a legitimate health-adjacent pathway. Prior funded projects include youth suicide-prevention programming, autism transition services, grief and emotional-support programming, youth health education and access-to-care work, disability inclusion, aquatics and physical activity, and blood-center youth leadership. These examples demonstrate that youth health and wellness projects can be competitive when they clearly fit the Foundation’s child-and-adolescent quality-of-life mission.
