Future Fund Giving Circle Grants: The basics
The Future Fund Giving Circle is a philanthropic group composed of friends and family of the Pittsburg area who pool their resources to make a difference in Crawford County.
The mission of CFSEK is to serve the SEK region by encouraging charitable giving benefiting the common good and the quality of life. We inspire leadership with programming that is responsive to the interests and needs of those we serve now and in the future.

Last year, the Future Fund Giving Circle awarded $16,630 to 11 Crawford County nonprofit organizations. Awards averaged $1,500 and ranged from $300 to $2,400.
