Our Mission Purpose: The purpose of the Kentucky Social Welfare Foundation is to improve quality of life and opportunity among Kentuckians who experience diminished economic opportunities, whether due to poverty, poor health, disability, or inequality. Targeting our grants to rural areas, small towns, and geographic areas of special need, KSWF seeks to promote efficient and effective social welfare organizations and methods for providing self-help and training. KSWF fulfills this purpose through monetary grants to established non-profit organizations that will: enlarge and broaden their scope of operation and/or develop and implement new projects to provide services which no agency, already in operation, is planned or equipped to extend.
Grant sizes? KSWF awards grants to non-profit organizations working to support and improve the lives of Kentuckians across the state. In the last five years, KSWF grant awards have ranged from $1,000 to $34,121. Our average grant award is $10,833.35. Since 1991, KSWF has given out grants totaling 3,444,166 in 393 total grants
