The Foundation is an Affiliate Foundation of Greater Northwest Kansas Community Foundation, all funds managed by GNWKCF.

About the Foundation

The Foundation became an affiliate of Greater Northwest Kansas Community Foundation in December 2017. An affiliate is a collection of community funds to increase philanthropic giving in a geographic area. Both endowed and non-endowed funds are developed to provide financial support to 501(c)(3) and other qualifying nonprofit organizations for charitable purposes to benefit area residents.

The foundation was formerly the St. Francis Community Foundation formed in 2007.  The Foundation serves as a ‘savings account’ for the good of Cheyenne County; “building the foundation of tomorrow” through financial gifts today. The Foundation provides an avenue for donors to give to for projects, county-wide or community specific needs, and personalized giving that best suits the donor’s wishes.

Donor Advised Funds (DAF’s)

Donors receive charitable gift receipts for the contributions to their established DAF.  The fund is normally named in someone’s memory or established as a “Family Fund”, however, the donor(s) may personalize as they wish.  The donor(s) are setup as the advisors to their Fund, which allows them to make all grant recommendations from their DAF.  Grant recommendations must be to qualifying charitable 501(c)(3) organizations, educational, government or religious entities per IRS rules.  The donor(s) may name succeeding generations as successor advisors or transition it to the Foundation to advise over upon donor(s) death.

Keep 5 in Kansas

We have an opportunity in Cheyenne County to turn our hopes for the future into reality! If we capture a portion of the transfer of wealth from one generation to the next – even just 5% – by setting up endowments through the Cheyenne County Kansas Community Foundation, we could provide a permanent source of funding for our local organizations and causes that will greatly improve the lives of the residents of Cheyenne County.
