Gives only in KS. Every grant it reported went to a single state. If you are outside it, this is not a prospect. If you are inside it, that is the strongest signal on this page: a funder with a local mandate and less competition from out of state.
This foundation funds faith-based organizations. 6 of its 62 reported grants went to churches, ministries or other religious organizations, $40K in total. That is what it paid, not what it says in a policy.
Gives every year. This foundation reported grants in 2024, 2025, 2026. A funder that shows up year after year is worth a letter even if this year is a no.
Where to write
First Option Bank 702 Baptiste Dr
Paola, KS 66071-0000
Address as registered with the IRS. Most foundations this size have no website and no application form, which is not a dead end: a short letter to this address is the whole process, and almost nobody sends one.
