Overview

Mission

To identify and cultivate future generations for civic engagement from the ranks of Kansas city's up-and-coming business and community professionals and support the civic council of greater Kansas city by focusing on the region's most pressing issues such as education, economic development, diversity and inclusion, and the kc rising initiative. By interacting with Kansas city's most influential civic leaders and industry experts, kct participants gain insights into civic council priorities, along with a richer awareness of the importance of civic engagement.

What it reported doing in 2025

Kansas city tomorrow (kct): as a program of the civic council of greater Kansas city, kct is committed to developing the next generation of civic volunteer leadership. It is a selective, ten-month educational program that prepares senior level business and community leaders for civic engagement in the Kansas city region, such as serving on the boards of nonprofit organizations or broadening their community leadership. The measures of success are focused on civic engagement upon program completion. Kct is funded through "tuition" revenue that is intended to cover the actual cost of delivering the program (it falls short of covering the full cost) and the civic council provides a scholarship fund of $22,000 to support the recruitment of community leaders, small and minority businesses to participate. Civic council staff and contracted facilitators provide staff support for the program and civic council members donate their time as part of the leadership group that supports and guides the program.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 75% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
