Your charitable giving options are virtually unlimited with the Community Foundation of Southeast Kansas.  We take into account both your charitable interests and your personal needs.  Then we identify your opportunities.  Together, we can develop a plan that makes your philanthropic vision a reality.  Creating a fund with the CFSEK gives you some distinct advantages:

Simplicity:  One gift to the CFSEK can be used by the donor to provide support for a wide rang of charitable organizations and interests.

Flexibility:  If a charitable organization ceases to exist or if the intended purpose of a donor’s gift becomes unnecessary, the CFSEK will ensure that the gift continues to be used for purposes that are consistent with the donor’s intentions.  Also, the size of a fund can be increased at any time through additional gifts.

Professional Management:   High caliber professional investment management provided by our affiliation with the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation provides for greater growth and lower costs, which allows larger charitable distributions.

Accountability:  As a community foundation, the CFSEK is dedicated to serving the public interest.  Through our affiliation with the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation, an audit of our funds is conducted annually.  Additionally, the CFSEK hires a local accounting firm to conduct an Agreed Upon Procedures review of our most active funds on an annual basis.
