Anyone can make a gift to the Foundation. Donors to the Foundation come from a variety of backgrounds with a common commitment to the community’s well being. Whether creating a named fund, contributing to an existing fund, making a gift in memory of a friend or loved one, or making an unrestricted gift to the Community Fund for McPherson county, every person in the community can make a difference.
AFFILIATE – Moundridge Community Foundation
In 2010, local residents established a fund designed to help organizations with the Moundridge community. Each year grants will be awarded to organizations that serve Moundridge. If you are interested in supporting the Moundridge Community Foundation, please contact our office at 620.245.9070.
Donor Advised Funds
This type of fund allows the donor and his or her heirs to recommend grants for a different charitable purpose each year providing great flexibility to the donor while avoiding the costs and demands of a private foundation. The donor recommends the recipients of earnings from a donor advised fund. Qualified recipients are organizations with a 501(c)3 designation located throughout the United States or foreign country.
