Kansas City, MO, is working to strengthen its philanthropic engagement strategy to better align long-term investments with key municipal priorities. The FUSE Executive Fellow will develop a comprehensive engagement plan, build cross-sector partnerships, and create investment briefs for high-impact city initiatives such as housing access, workforce development, and neighborhood revitalization. Ultimately, this will help Kansas City attract sustained philanthropic support, expand economic opportunity, and improve the quality of life for its residents.
Beginning in October 2025, the FUSE Executive Fellow will partner with the Office of the Mayor in Kansas City to strengthen the city’s approach to public-philanthropic engagement and develop a sustainable strategy that aligns philanthropic resources with key municipal priorities.
