    About Community Foundation of Southwest Kansas

    A defining feature of the Community Foundation of Southwest Kansas is its mix of unrestricted community grants and administered scholarship funds, with many awards directed to local organizations in Dodge City and nearby Southwest Kansas communities. In the recent grants list, support reached the Dodge City Community College Foundation for project work, Boot Hill Museum Inc for the Long Branch Saloon update, and the Dodge City Family YMCA for after-school programming and operating support. That combination points to a funder that backs both immediate community services and longer-term civic, educational, and cultural assets. The foundation’s giving aligns with a broad community-improvement mandate: education and scholarships, children’s services, health, cultural programs, civic and community development, general community needs, and women’s programs. Recent awards also show attention to food access, youth development, disability services, cancer support, and local capital needs. The pattern is not limited to large institutions; it also includes churches, food programs, historical organizations, and nonprofit service providers across Southwest Kansas. Its named scholarship activity is a visible part of the portfolio, and the foundation also makes open grants from unrestricted funds for charitable organizations serving Southwest Kansas. Recent recipients such as Cerebral Palsy Research Foundation and Kansas Food Bank Warehouse show that the foundation also supports regional infrastructure and endowment-building alongside direct service grants.

    What Community Foundation of Southwest Kansas Funds

    Education shows up through both scholarships and institutional support. The foundation gave $64,375 to Dodge City Community College Foundation for project support, and another $50,000 to the same grantee in 2024 for project support. Its scholarship programs also support students at accredited institutions, including the Juanita Abell Pyle Scholarship for graduates of Minneola High School or Ashland High School. Children’s services and youth programming are another clear theme. Lift Minneola Inc received $81,503 for Child Care Resources, while Dodge City Family YMCA received $30,000 for YMCA After-School in 2024. The foundation also awarded $51,932 to Perfect Fit Foundation for youth therapy and building expansion. Health and human services appear in grants such as $35,000 to Circle of Hope Cancer Survivors Fund for assisting cancer victims and $27,250 to Hospice of the Prairie Inc for remote patient health monitoring. Food security is also visible through $30,000 to Manna House for Feed the hungry and support to a local church serving the hungry and educational initiatives.
