Applications Open for Kansas Arts Commission Funding Opportunitie
TOPEKA – Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Commerce David Toland today announced applications are being accepted for four Kansas Arts Commission (KAC) grant programs that support a wide range of arts and cultural activities across the state.
The grant programs, which are designed to foster community pride, economic growth and cultural heritage, include:
- General Operating Support Grant: Provides funding for day-to-day operations of established arts organizations
- Arts Everywhere Grant: Supports specific projects and initiatives and is open to both arts and non-arts organizations
- Public Art & Murals Grant: Funds permanent and semi-permanent public art installations
- Visiting Artists Grant: Helps bring professional artists from across the nation to Kansas communities
“Providing targeted financial support for the arts is vital in revitalizing and supporting our communities and organizations of all sizes,” Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Commerce David Toland said. “Groups are using these grants to help make important, impactful and meaningful work happen, boosting local economies and connecting residents to the creative talent found throughout the Sunflower State.”
The KAC grants are available to support arts and cultural activities that are taking place starting on July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. Supported activities include arts education projects, music, dance, visual arts, professional and community theater, media arts, creative writing, murals, poetry, the operations of museums and other creative disciplines.
Eligible applicants include Kansas-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, units of local government (e.g., schools, universities, libraries, art agencies, etc.) and federally recognized tribal communities. All applicants must have at least one fiscal year of completed arts programming.
“Our funding opportunities are open to any and all Kansas organizations, and the application can be completed without specializing in grant writing,” Kansas Arts Commission Director Curtis Young said. “We encourage all interested applicants to take advantage of the resources we have available to help navigate the process.”

KS Tax Collections $942.8 Million In January
Governor Kelly Announces January
Total Tax Collections Surpass Estimate by
Nearly $16M
TOPEKA – The State of Kansas ends January 2025 with total tax collections at $942.8 million. That is $15.9 million, or 1.7%, above the estimate. Total tax collections are up 1.5% from January 2024.
“While current revenues are in line with the estimates, it is important that we continue to focus on fiscal responsibility to ensure long term financial health in Kansas,” Governor Laura Kelly said.
Individual income tax collections were $500.1 million, $25.1 million or 5.3% above the estimate, and up 5.1% from January 2024. Corporate income tax collections were $73.0 million, $20.0 million or 21.5% below the estimate, and down 18.7% from January 2024.
“But for a tax system deployment on Friday, January 31, which delayed that day’s individual income tax refunds to today, total taxes collected would have been extremely close to the forecasted amount for the month of January,” said Secretary of Revenue Mark Burghart.
Combined retail sales and compensating use tax receipts were $348.8 million, $11.8 million or 3.5% above the estimate, and up $4.5 million or 1.3% from January 2024.

Kansas Legislative Update by Caryn Tyson
Legislative Update by State Senator Caryn Tyson
January 31, 2025
Thoughts and Prayers As we come to grips with the heart-wrenching drowning of two youth in Linn County, the D.C. and Philadelphia plane crashes last week, and the devasting fires in California, we are reminded how fragile life is. It is also a reminder of the hundreds of emergency responders who swiftly and often put themselves in harm’s way. Prayers are with all who have been touched by these emergencies and the unimaginable sorrow.
Week three of the 2025 session proved to be productive for the Senate.
Illegal immigration was debated on the Senate floor January 29th instead of on the 28th. Senate Concurrent Resolution (SCR) 1602 requests that the Governor fully cooperate with federal enforcement of immigration laws. It passed overwhelming 31 to 9 and was sent to the House for consideration. The Senate sent a strong message to the Governor that we want federal immigration laws to be upheld. I voted Yes.
Property Tax legislation overwhelmingly passed the Senate. Senate Bill (SB) 35 would repeal the 1.5 mill property tax the state collects for maintenance on regent’s buildings and some state buildings. State General Funds (mainly income and sales taxes) will be used to make up the difference if SB 35 becomes law. The bill passed the Senate 38 to 2. I voted Yes to lower your property taxes.
SB 10 was requested by the Kansas County Appraiser Association (KCAA) and would exempt several personal property items, such as ATVs, electric wheelchairs, golf carts, watercraft and electric bicycles. We heard testimony that for many of these items it costs more to collect the taxes than what is paid. I had the opportunity to visit with several of the county appraisers while they were in Topeka. They gave several examples of why this legislation is needed. Some are arguing this bill helps the rich. The appraisers reassured us that it is best these items come off the tax rolls. It passed 37 to 3.
It is an honor and a privilege to serve as your 12th District State Senator.

The 2025 KidWind Challenge competitions begin this week
TOPEKA – The 2025 Kansas KidWind Challenge kicks off this week. The annual competition has grown significantly from one regional challenge with 14 teams in 2016 to six regional events with a total of 94 teams from 48 schools this year.
The first regional challenge will be held in Hutchinson on Wednesday, Feb. 5. Five more regional events are scheduled throughout the month in Colby (Feb. 11), Dodge City (Feb. 13), Overland Park (Feb. 19), Manhattan (Feb. 25), and Burlington (Feb. 28). All events are open to the public. The 2025 KidWind Event Guide, complete with times and locations, is available here.
Student teams work together to design, build and test a wind turbine using the materials of their choice – no two look alike. Each team’s turbine will be put to the test in a 48″ × 48″ wind tunnel at a wind speed of approximately 3.5-5 m/s (meters per second). Scoring is based on turbine performance, a knowledge quiz, a presentation to judges where the team explains its design process, and an instant challenge.
Students compete by age categories: 4th – 5th grade, 6th – 8th grade and 9th – 12th grade. The winning teams at regional events advance to the state finals on April 5 in Salina. State winners are invited to participate in the World KidWind Challenge in Phoenix, AZ planned for May 18-21.
“KidWind is a fantastic hands-on opportunity that allows students to tinker and experiment with wind turbine designs. They experience the thrill of scientific discovery as their designs are validated through performance testing, and they hone their public-speaking skills as they present their turbine design to a panel of judges,” explained David Carter, Director of the Kansas Energy Program at K-State Engineering Extension.
Kansas KidWind is an energy-related STEM education event from the Kansas Corporation Commission and K-State Engineering Extension made possible by a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy.

Walker Advocates For Securing Expanded Whistleblower Protections
Susan Walker, Bourbon County Clerk, who was formally the Bourbon County Chief Financial Officer was featured in a recent story in State Affairs, a Topeka-based publication.
“Walker is… advocating for others who might find themselves in a similarly precarious position, having approached multiple Kansas lawmakers in hopes of securing expanded whistleblower protections,” according to the article.
‘Walker’s concerns spurred Rep. Carrie Barth to introduce House Bill 2160 in the House Committee on Local Government, offering legal protections for whistleblower scenarios at the local level,” according to the article.

Community Development Grants Available Through CDBG
Governor Kelly Announces Nearly $11M
for Community Improvements
TOPEKA – Governor Laura Kelly announced Friday that 24 rural Kansas communities will receive a share of nearly $10.9 million through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program to assist with community development projects.
“The Community Development Block Grant program continues to be a vital resource for our small and rural communities that are in critical need of infrastructure and institutional improvements,” Governor Laura Kelly said. “The dollars allocated to these counties demonstrably address and enhance municipal capacity and quality of life for Kansans throughout the state.”
CDBG, a program facilitated by the Kansas Department of Commerce and its Quality Places Division, is a federal grant program that provides funding for projects that might otherwise not be constructed. The total funding of $10,849,582 will be matched with local funding, allowing more than $26.9 million to be available for the identified local projects.
“The competitive aspect of CDBG is inspiring communities across the state to develop and pursue a local vision that reflects their unique circumstances,” said Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Commerce David Toland. “By encouraging public and private partnerships along with resident participation, extraordinary projects are happening all across Kansas.”
This round of CDBG awards were made in four program areas:
- Community Centers, Parks and Libraries: Funds projects to increase community engagement, health, connectiveness, and vibrancy through construction or renovation of new or existing community centers, libraries, or parks.
Example: The City of Washington will use its funds to install new playground equipment and demolition work to existing equipment at the Munchkinland Playground.
- Sidewalks and Trails: Funds projects that connect community members to services, community centers, schools, and recreational areas.
Example: The City of Hoyt will use the funds to improve the Highland Avenue and 4th Street area to include new sidewalks, ADA sidewalk access, striping, and signage.
- Water and Sewer Infrastructure: Funds assist with water and sewer infrastructure projects such as repairs of a facility.
Example: The City of Morland is planning to rehabilitate wastewater treatment cells and convert portions of existing cells into a seepage cell and wetland.
- Youth Job Training: Funds projects to address the needs of at-risk youth in workforce training and development.
Example: The City of Bartlett is using its funds to create a youth summer internship program for the building trades initiative at Coffeyville Community College.
Commerce’s CDBG program administers the federal funds used by local governments for the development of vibrant, viable communities that address housing, public facilities, and economic needs. To be awarded funds, local government units must meet at least one of three program objectives:
- The grant will benefit low- and moderate-income persons;
- The grant will prevent or eliminate slums and blight;
- The grant will resolve an urgent need that communities are not able to do so on their own.
CDBG funds are one of Commerce’s primary tools for supporting the state’s smaller, predominantly rural communities. To view the complete list of 2024 awardees, click here.
