Attend a grantmaking webinar

We want to provide clear and concise information about our funding opportunities. Our optional grantmaking webinars provide a space for the community to hear directly from Kauffman Foundation leadership about this strategy and to ask questions.

Over the past year, we have held several webinars speaking to our new grant cycles; to see those recordings, please visit our YouTube channel or watch our latest webinar recording below.

Watch the recording of the Capacity Building grants webinar

On March 4, 2025, Kauffman Foundation President and CEO Dr. DeAngela Burns-Wallace, Chief Impact & Strategy Officer Allison Greenwood Bajracharya, and Senior Impact Officer Kristin Smithson outlined the Foundation’s grantmaking philosophy to close economic mobility gaps – and answer your questions regarding Capacity Building grants.

We also host office hours webinars for more informal question-and-answer sessions about any of the grantmaking webinar topics. Please note that these sessions won’t offer one-on-one meetings. They are designed to answer high-level questions about the grant types and provide more in-depth information so that applicants can make informed decisions for their organizations.

Space is limited, so we encourage early registrations! All times are in CT.
