Grants are aimed at advocacy and education rather than service delivery, suggesting the foundation is focused on shaping public debate and policy outcomes. Its grantees are predominantly Kansas-focused or state policy groups and advocacy networks.

Right Way Kansas Action Fund Inc put $625,000 behind State Solutions Inc in 2023, making advocacy and education the central pattern in its latest grantmaking.

Across the 2023 grants listed here, the foundation funded organizations tied to state policy debates, conservative public-policy messaging, and issue advocacy rather than service delivery.

At the same time, two Washington, DC-based organizations received the largest awards, indicating that the foundation supports both Kansas-focused and national advocacy groups that operate in policy and public-awareness channels. The foundation is a public charity, and its reported annual grants total $1,010,000 against $84,836 in assets.
