Jana’s Campaign receives $30,000 grant from Sunflower Foundation

Jana’s Campaign announced the week the award of a $30,000 grant from the Sunflower Foundation in Topeka, KS. Resources will be used to further expand and enhance implementation of our gender and relationship violence prevention education programs across the state of Kansas. Our educational programming provides an understanding of the warning signs of unhealthy relationship behaviors to ultimately stop the violence before it starts, teaches leadership to empower those in attendance to continue to be a part of the solution and encourages a strong culture of respect.

The Sunflower Foundation provided this funding through the Social Determinants and Social Needs: Moving Beyond Midstream grant opportunity. The programs selected to receive funding aligned with the mission to advance the collective efforts of state and local nonprofits to address social determinants of health and improve health outcomes for Kansans.

“We are excited that the Sunflower Foundation has invested in us and the mission of reducing gender and relationship violence throughout Kansas,” said Kaiti Dinges, Jana’s Campaign Interim Executive Director. “The approach and focus of Jana’s Campaign is on prevention education. We believe that education is the most powerful tool to create social change. Through education, one can change and improve social attitudes, behaviors, interactions, and norms.”

The Sunflower Foundation is guided by their mission: to serve as a catalyst for improving the health of Kansans. They seek partnerships with organizations and communities that focus on similar goals. Their mission focuses on three primary approaches:

Healthy Living and Active Communities
Health Care
Advocacy and Policy
