City of Wichita awards big bucks to local non-profits

$10 million, money the City of Wichita is giving to some non-profit organizations. The cast comes from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) the City received. The executive director of Kansas School for Effective Learning (KANSEL) said when the pandemic hit, a lot of the funding non-profits received was cut. He said the ARPA money from the City can really help his organization get back to helping the community. “For a City to recognize that there is a need to make social changes within the world of philanthropy and charity is huge,” said Thomas Montiel, the Executive director and CEO of KANSEL.
