Lighting the Way

for Future Generations

The Community Foundation of Southwest Kansas gives citizens of the area the opportunity to make a lasting gift to a community which has been good to them. 
 

About

The Foundation pools the assets and represents the ideas and interest of people who want to increase the impact of their philanthropy. It is not a place to give money, but rather a method for giving money.

Giving. Fund Choices That Suit You.

You can establish a fund in your own name or in the name of someone you want to honor. Almost any charitable purpose can be served through a variety of funds. Most funds are managed as perpetual endowments which means that only the net income (no principal) is regularly disbursed. Other funds disburse principal at the suggestion of the fund’s advisors.

Grants

Grants from the Community Foundation's unrestricted funds are available for open grants to be used for charitable organizations in Southwest Kansas. Also, grant funds are available for organizations that focus specifically on children's issues.

Scholarships

The Community Foundation of Southwest Kansas Scholarship Program reflects a direct effort to recognize and reward those students who have demonstrated consistent and outstanding academic achievement in high school and college and tend to be a worthy student of good character.

Women of Inspiration

The summer of 2011  an organizational committee of women within the Community Foundation of Southwest Kansas met with a shared goal of improving the lives of all women in our community. The Women of Inspiration fund was established to meet this goal.
