What is GROW II?
The Heartland Community Foundation has been accepted to receive a matching grant from the Kansas Health Foundation's Giving Resources to our World (GROW) Healthy Kansas initiative. GROW II is a $500,000 matching grant over the course of six years in which new gifts for endowment are matched using a two-tiered matching ratio. Some gifts are matched at the rate of 1-to-2, or $1 of match for every $2 of new gifts, and some gifts are matche at the rate of 1-to-4, or $1 of match for every $4 of new gifts. All gifts of any size are welcome.
What are the matching rates?
New endowed gifts are matched using a two-tiered matching ratio of either a 1-to-2 match or a 1-to-4 match.
A 1-to-2 match rate is paid for any endowed gift towards an operating (administrative fund), unrestricted grant-making fund, or public health fund.
A 1-to-4 match rate is paid for all other endowed gifts, with the exception of scholarship funds, which are not matched unless the fund is established as a designated fund at the community foundation for scholarship programs at one or more educational institutions.

- To help more Kansas community foundations build endowed funds that are used to underwrite solutions to local health issues.
- To help more Kansas community foundations reduce costs, improve service quality and become self-sustaining through collaboration and alliances
- To help more Kansas community foundations acquire the capacity to provide leadership on health issues in their communities
