Board reporting

Trustees of Kansas Agricultural Trust,

This year Kansas Agricultural Trust committed $34.2M across 9 opportunities and deployed $23.9M against our stated mandate of Climate and Health. 86% of deployed capital landed inside the mandate; 14% — $3.45M — extended into adjacent health research where the exposure burden was acute and the host institutions met our readiness threshold.

Every dollar moved was milestone-verified. Disbursements released only after independent confirmation against registries, ministry reporting, and peer review. Where milestones slipped, capital was held; where milestones were met early, capital accelerated.

Headline allocations:
  • LSHTM Centre on Climate Change and Planetary Health (Climate-sensitive infectious disease) — $4.80M deployed of $6.50M committed. Delivered: 4 ministries integrated at month 16. Verified via WHO country office reporting.
  • MT- Land & Cattle (Policy translation) — $3.90M deployed of $4.20M committed. Delivered: 14 briefs cited in active dockets at month 11 — ahead of term. Verified via Regulations.gov docket citations.
  • icddr,b Heat and Maternal Health Cohort (Heat and health) — $3.10M deployed of $3.10M committed. Delivered: 14,100 pregnancies · effect size published in the lancet planetary health. Verified via Matlab HDSS registry.
  • Air Quality and Child Lung Health Consortium (Air quality and health) — $2.90M deployed of $4.60M committed. Delivered: 13,400 children enrolled at month 13. Verified via Site spirometry + reference monitors.

Outcomes fully delivered against original projection:
  • MT- Land & Cattle — delivered 14 briefs cited in active dockets at month 11 — ahead of term.
  • icddr,b Heat and Maternal Health Cohort — delivered 14,100 pregnancies · effect size published in the lancet planetary health.
  • IIT Gandhinagar Heat Resilience Observatory — delivered 11 cities adopted plans · 2 states mandated statewide.

Looking into 2027: Maternal Health is 12 points under target on our internal mandate-drift report; two funding-ready opportunities — North Plains Maternal Care Initiative and Iron Range Maternal Outreach — can absorb the rebalance in a single cycle. Behavioral Health deployments were not in the original mandate but closed care gaps adjacent to it; the board is asked to formally expand the mandate or rebalance the 2027 cycle accordingly.

The full readiness file and disbursement audit trail for each opportunity is available in the cockpit. This letter is generated from that data — every figure is traceable to its source.

Respectfully,
The Allocation Committee, Kansas Agricultural Trust
