Friends of Kaw Point Park funds many of their projects with grants. Recently we have been awarded grants from the Unified Government, Kansas City Water Service and the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation.
Many donors have chosen to sponsor a stone recognizing a 1804 Corps of Discovery member by having their name(s) engraved on that particular stone. Several stones are still available for this program, cost to sponsor is $500 per stone.

With stormwater education grants from the Unified Government, Friends of Kaw Point Park has established gardens in the rocked area above the boat ramp and is working on a woodland restoration along the concrete paths through the wooded area. From March to November we hold a gardening/cleanup day at the park on one Saturday morning from 9am to noon and welcome volunteers to help maintain the gardens and woodland restoration and pick up litter. Please check out our events page for dates. You can also signup to receive our email newsletters that only come out once or twice a month.

These individuals and organizations are recognized on signage at the park (see below.)
