Our Story

Kansas has a reputation... and it's not a good one. Whether it's the topic of evolution or the arts, we've gotten a lot of bad press. It's our firm belief that lack of artistic opportunity in the state of Kansas will lead to another generation of boring, selfish, television watchers. Kansas needs to make opportunities to learn a creative skill - and that's where the Kansas Improvisation Foundation comes in.

The KIF will create opportunities for the people of Kansas to be exposed to the many varieties of improvisational acting. KIF will use its funds to give scholarships to take improv classes, to bring in outstanding teachers from other cities, and to provide classes and performances to areas with no other access to this kind of art form.

The KIF is just getting started, and needs funding to make its launch official - that means it needs 501(c)3 status to be able to apply for grants and other help.

Don't let the forces of evil win. Help spread the fun and skill of improv all over the state of Kansas!

What We Need

In order to obtain 501(c)3 status, we need $20 to file in the state of Kansas as a non-profit. We need $400 to file with the IRS, and we need $100 for the legal fees and fund-raising charges to help make this happen. We're made up of current improv professionals that want to see the art grow, and are helping out with their talents and resources.

Other Ways You Can Help

No matter how much you're able to give (even zero...), you can help out this great cause by sharing the campaign with others you know that love improv, art, acting, and stopping the flow of ignorance. Every little bit will help make this organization a reality! Use the share tools on this site, post it on Facebook, print it out and mail it to your elderly relatives. Let's make some noise!
