Grants Program
Since 1923, Kosair for Kids has helped children reach their potential while overcoming their obstacles. Our mission is to enhance the health and well-being of children by delivering financial support for healthcare, research, education, social services, and child advocacy. This is realized in part through our Grants Application and event sponsorship.
We are proud to invest in and fund nonprofits working to solve the problems affecting children in our community. Organizations interested in applying may review the general grant timeline below as a guide, although specific dates may change.
The Letter of Intent for the 2026-2027 Kosair for Kids Grant Cycle will become available on November 17, 2025.
Kosair for Kids is transitioning to a calendar year fiscal year (January 1–December 31) beginning in 2026. To align our grant cycle with this change, we will be adjusting the structure of the 2026–2027 grant cycle. Our upcoming grant cycle will consider 15 months of funding rather than the traditional 12 months. The general timing of our next grant cycle is similar to years past, just with the additional 3 months of funding.
