Kansas International Trade Marketing Assistance Program (KITMAP)

KITMAP supports Kansas businesses that want to start exporting or expand into new markets. It funds marketing activity tied to export growth, including overseas sales trips, and sits within the Kansas Department of Commerce and NetWork Kansas business incentive network. The program uses matching grants, so companies must contribute part of the eligible cost. The source pages do not publish a standard award cap or match percentage, but the route is rolling rather than tied to a narrow annual window. Eligibility is limited to for-profit companies operating in Kansas, and no sector restrictions are listed. KITMAP is most useful for firms that already know which foreign market they want to reach and need help underwriting the first push. The strongest applicants have an export-ready product, a clear marketing plan, and a practical use for grant support in a specific international sales effort. For many companies, it is the cleanest way to test a first export push without self-funding every travel and promotion cost.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
