The Civic Council is a nonprofit organization made up of the leaders of the region’s largest private employers. It’s funded primarily through the contributions of its members.
Founded in 1964, the Civic Council helped, along with the KC Chamber, spur the creation of the Full Employment Council; funded the creation of the Area Life Sciences Institute (now BioNexus); initiated the Sasaki Plan, a study helping toward the revitalization of downtown Kansas City; and created PREP-KC, a nonprofit connecting high school students to engagement opportunities with business professionals and higher education faculty.
The KC Chamber partners with the Civic Council and others in the effort known as KC Rising, which is establishing a shared vision for regional prosperity.
There are issues that transcend state, city, and county lines – issues like transportation, childcare, education, the economy, and health. MARC is the nonprofit organization that brings together local officials to deal with those issues metro-wide.
KCADC’s mission is to “Engage the world to invest in the OneKC region.” Its primary focus is to attract new companies and talent to our two-state region. As part of that effort, they promote the region as a business and lifestyle location of choice.
Visit KC and the Sports Commission “sell” Kansas City to tourists, convention planners, and sporting events.
