WORDS OF APPRECIATION

The CKCF Staff recently received an email passing along some heartfelt appreciation for one of our Spring Soiree Sponsors and the Foundation. We are thankful for the kind people from White Eagle Credit Union (WECU) who shared these encouraging words:


Message sent to WECU by the Webb Family and forwarded to CKCF:


"Greetings from Wichita! My wife and I were the winning bidders on a silent auction basket that included a $50 gift card from White Eagle Credit Union. Thank you! We used your card in our celebration of our wedding anniversary this weekend.


We appreciate your support of Central Kansas Community Foundation. Angie and her team are making amazing things happen here in the Kansas Heartland. We appreciate you being part of that."



Michael & Kathleen Webb WE THANK YOU for supporting our fundraiser and acknowledging our WECU support.

Together we are making a difference.

DONOR CONNECTION - JUNE.2023

Learn How Philanthropy Looks from Different Generational Perspectives

Different generations do things differently. This is not a surprise to those who have watched their parents, children, or grandchildren in action!


CLICK HERE to: Catch up on how generational differences flow through to charitable giving. In particular, note that the donor-advised fund is popular across generations, not just with Gen X and Baby Boomers. Plus, given the hands-on preferences of Millennials and Gen Z, the community foundation is uniquely situated to cater to these new philanthropists as they seek to make their own mark of positive impact on the world.


Have you ever heard a philanthropist say how hard it is to give money away? There is truth to that, especially, as this article notes (CLICK to Read), where grants from private foundations are concerned. This is yet another reason why so many individuals and families are turning to the community foundation to help them structure charitable giving vehicles and navigate the best ways to support the causes they love, including forgoing the private foundation altogether in favor of the more straightforward and tax-friendly donor-advised fund.
