In 2006, The Grant County Fund, was established with Western Kansas Community Foundation, as a field of interest fund to serve the philanthropic needs of Grant County. An Advisory Committee was selected to provide a local presence in Grant County and a channel of communication with The Western Kansas Community Foundation about the needs and opportunities to serve in Grant County. Since that time, we have participated in 2 successful funding challenges that provided $88,518 in matching funds in addition to the endowments received. As the organization of the fund developed and additional opportunities were offered through Western Kansas Community Foundation, the fund transitioned to the Grant County Community Foundation in 2010, and became an affiliate of WKCF.
In addition, during the last 5 years, a total of $114,683 has been granted to organizations in Grant County through the combined efforts of the Grant County Fund and the Western Kansas Community Foundation.
