Overview

Limited Submission

Kentucky Fried Wishes is a quarterly grant opportunity through the KFC Foundation. Non-profit organizations can apply for a $10,000 grant to fund an actionable project on their wish list.

Each quarter, up to 25 organizations will be selected to receive a $10,000 grant. Projects must meet the following criteria:
    • Can be completed with a $10,000 budget*
    • Can be completed within a 6-12 month period

*If additional funding is needed, include plans for securing additional funds in your proposal. 

For the current grant cycle, eligible projects must focus on improving health and wellbeing. See kfcfoundation.org/wishes for the full list of quarterly grant cycles and project categories.

Examples of possible projects include:

  • Mobile health clinic creation
  • Playground improvements
  • Domestic violence shelter upgrades
  • Accommodations for individuals with disabilities

We’re looking for tangible, actionable projects that are feasible to accomplish with the $10,000 grant and will make an immediate impact in your community.

If you have a larger project (i.e., 100-mile trail restoration), break it down into something that $10,000 could cover in full (i.e., 10-mile trail restoration out of our 100-mile project). If additional funding is needed, detailed plans for securing additional resources must be provided in the Project Budget.

Projects should be timely, with preference given to those that can be completed within a 6-12 month period.

Solicitation Limitations:

Non-profits may submit one grant application per quarterly cycle.

Other Information:

All grant recipients will be expected to agree to and be responsible for:

  • Signing a contract agreeing to grant requirements and completing a W-9 tax form
  • Following through with the project as it was proposed, including spending funds as requested in the application
  • Submitting photos/videos, a report of project expenses, and any unspent funds to the KFC Foundation within twelve months of the grant notification date (we prefer that the project use all the funds, but if that does not seem likely, please contact KFC Foundation staff to discuss the situation)
  • Completing a grant report at both six months and twelve months after the project has been awarded
  • Recognizing the KFC Foundation in the project and allowing it to be publicized and shared by the KFC Foundation
