Kansas Association of Community Foundations

Mission

Profile

KACF is a membership organization founded in 2005 by a dedicated group of volunteers representing community foundations across the state of Kansas who believe in philanthropy, peer-learning, and state-wide partnerships.

It was their hope that KACF would impact the growth, development, and organizational sustainability of Kansas community foundations as trusted community catalysts that offer in-depth knowledge of local issues and funding resources to help preserve the health and well-being of Kansas and its residents.

The purpose of KACF is to strengthen and promote community philanthropy in Kansas, to educate members on effective philanthropic operations, and to foster collaboration and the exchange of information regarding philanthropic programs and issues.

Collectively, KACF's 115 members hold over $1.7 billion in total assets and in 2023 awarded over $122 million in grants and scholarships.
