Working Together
In January, 2009, two great organizations merged to better serve the citizens of Harvey, Marion, and McPherson counties. This merger created a partnership in the Central Kansas region that will carry out a shared vision to help families build lasting legacies in their communities. As a resource for all nonprofit agencies in Central Kansas, the new Central Kansas Community Foundation is committed to being the leader in promoting philanthropy and ensuring a bright future for central Kansas.
The founders of the Newton Community & Healthcare Foundation originally envisioned a foundation that would facilitate and strengthen health care by developing permanent endowments and making gifts to non-profit organizations. The foundation was launched as the Newton Healthcare Foundation in January 1995 as part of Newton Medical Center's mission to serve the broader health care needs of the area. The foundation, however, did not limit its largess to strictly health care organizations, and in 1999 the name was changed to Newton Community & Healthcare Foundation to more accurately reflect the foundation's purpose and scope to serve a wide variety of charitable organizations in the greater Harvey County area.
Central Kansas Community Foundation was originally founded in November 1999. The Foundation's mission was to enhance the quality of life for the residents of Marion, McPherson and Harvey Counties of Kansas. The Board of Directors of CKCF chose to assist in the creation of new endowments for other nonprofit organizations in the three-county area, and to assist in the enhancement of existing endowments benefiting the citizens of the three counties.
Together we can accomplish great things!
