Initial funding for KACE activities was from the family savings of the KACE Chairman. However, over time, KACE activities have attracted funding from development partners including the Rockefeller Foundation, the USAID Mission in Kenya, the Hans Seidal Foundation of Germany and the CTA in the Netherlands.
