KLC
WICHITA - “In the six years we’ve offered Leadership Transformation Grants, we have more
grantees than ever before,” said Ed O’Malley, president and CEO of the Kansas
Leadership Center. “In 2021, KLC will partner with 77 organizations across
Kansas to help them manage change and make lasting progress for years to come.”
Every year, KLC provides grants to civically engaged organizations across
Kansas to participate in the KLC Path, a three-step
sequence of leadership programs which teaches that leadership is an
activity—not a position—and that anyone within an organization can exercise
leadership effectively.
The grants are divided among five sectors: education,
non-profit, faith, government and business. In the past six years of awarding
these grants, KLC has given 257 grants, trained over 8,700 people and invested
$7 million in Kansas organizations and communities.
