Community Capital Fund (CCF) is a community development corporation that provides grants, technical assistance, and coaching to support under-resourced neighborhoods and businesses in the Greater Kansas City metropolitan area, advancing asset-based community development and increasing financial, human, and social capital.
Community Capital Fund’s recent giving is anchored in neighborhood-level working capital for Kansas City area organizations and community groups. In 2025, several of its larger grants went to local neighborhood entities such as Ivanhoe Neighborhood Council, Marlborough Community Coalition, and Eastwood Hills Community Association, each receiving support for working capital. That pattern fits CCF’s broader role as a community development corporation that provides grants, technical assistance, and coaching to under-resourced neighborhoods and businesses in the Greater Kansas City metropolitan area. The foundation also uses programmatic funding to support specific community needs. Its recent grant programs include neighborhood-led violence prevention, youth-led community improvement, small nonprofit capacity building, and economic mobility support in historically underserved parts of the metro. Alongside those recurring community grants, CCF has also used short-term support for COVID-19 recovery and for workforce and entrepreneurship-related activity. CCF’s grantmaking is regional in scope, with recipients concentrated in Kansas City and the surrounding metro area. Its portfolio shows a practical mix of operating-style support for neighborhood groups, responsive relief grants, and cohort-based development programs for small organizations and emerging founders.
A central theme in Community Capital Fund’s grantmaking is neighborhood-led community development. Through the Neighborhoods Rising Fund, it supports neighborhood organizations and community groups working in low- to moderate-income areas of the Greater Kansas City metropolitan area. Related safety work appears in the Crime Prevention Fund, which backs grassroots organizations focused on violence intervention, violence prevention, domestic violence prevention, survivor safety, and youth prevention. The funder also invests in economic mobility and small-scale enterprise support. The Rooted Change Fund is designed for grassroots, community-based organizations advancing economic mobility in historically underserved parts of the Kansas City metro, while the Overland Park Property Tax Rebate Program provides property tax relief for eligible residents. Community Capital Fund also backs capacity building and learning. Its Nonprofit Founders Bootcamp serves small, early-stage nonprofits led by Black and Brown founders, and Remake Learning Days Kansas City supports public learning events in the Kansas City region.
