The Kroenke Family Foundation concentrates on a small number of large, mission-driven gifts that blend high-profile cultural investments with community capital projects and leadership programs. Their giving favors arts and cultural infrastructure (notably interactive nature/landscape elements tied to museums), leadership and civic fellowships with a climate/democracy emphasis, and place-based community improvements such as youth sports, music programs, and local animal-welfare facilities. They make repeat grants to select partners and balance national flagship donations with support for local Missouri needs.
KROENKE FAMILY FOUNDATION is based in Columbia, Missouri, and reported $14,650,000 in annual grants given, with total assets of $32,007,396 on its latest 990 filed for 2025. Its grantmaking centers on museum-driven cultural and landscape projects, leadership and civic fellowships with climate and democracy themes, and community capital projects that include youth sports, music programs, and animal-welfare facilities. The foundation funds individuals and does not make program-related investments. Recent large grants show the scale and repeat nature of its giving. KROENKE FAMILY FOUNDATION gave $4,000,000 in 2025 to CRYSTAL BRIDGES MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART in Bentonville, Arkansas, for the development and construction of an interactive nature park. It also awarded $3,000,000 in 2024 and another $3,000,000 in 2023 to the same museum for the same project. Other notable gifts include $1,000,000 in 2024 to THE SCGA FOUNDATION in Studio City, California, for the Fore Youth Community Legacy Project and Maggie Hathaway Golf Course project, and $500,000 grants to SUMMIT IMPACT in San Diego, California, in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
Recent grantmaking spans interactive nature park and urban green space development, environmental and climate programs, civic engagement and democracy programs, mental health services, fellowship programs and alumni support, recreational facility redevelopment, and local capital projects. Notable grants include $4,000,000 in 2025 to CRYSTAL BRIDGES MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART for the development and construction of an interactive nature park, $1,000,000 in 2024 to THE SCGA FOUNDATION for the Fore Youth Community Legacy Project and Maggie Hathaway Golf Course project, and $500,000 grants to SUMMIT IMPACT in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for climate, democracy, mental health programs, general fellowship, and alumni programs.

KROENKE FAMILY FOUNDATION gives large grants, with a typical grant size of $312,500 at the 25th percentile, $500,000 at the median, and $875,000 at the 75th percentile. Its recent awards show repeated support for selected partners rather than a broad scatter of small gifts. The foundation funds individuals and makes grants regionally, with recurring support to organizations such as SUMMIT IMPACT and PLAYING FOR CHANGE FOUNDATION alongside larger project-based awards to museums and capital campaigns. Program-related investments are not part of its stated activity.
