The primary intended use of the grant funds awarded to Kansas and to sub-grantees is “to provide assistance to local communities in Kansas, working through a network of Community Action Agencies and other neighborhood-based organizations, for the reduction of poverty, the revitalization of low-income communities, and the empowerment of low-income families and individuals in rural and urban areas to become fully self-sufficient.”
Agencies eligible to submit proposals for 2025 CSBG Discretionary funding are Community Action Agencies providing services in Kansas, Kansas Association of Community Action Programs (KACAP) and other non-profit organizations whose primary purpose is that of eliminating the causes and effects of poverty in Kansas.

Innovative Projects to support innovative community and neighborhood-based initiatives related to the purposes of the CSBG Act, or Training/Technical Assistance Projects to address the training and technical assistance needs of the community action network.
Applicants are advised that direct services funded by CSBG are restricted to Kansas residents with household incomes that fall at or below 125 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines.
