List of Funds

A fund is a separate trust with its own donors and philanthropic purpose. The funds held by the Sheridan County Community Foundation are invested with the Greater Northwest Kansas Community Foundation (GNWKCF); however, donors may designate a different investment entity.


Establishing a Fund with us is a simple process. Our staff is committed to helping donors meet their charitable interests through the exploration of charitable giving vehicles, determining the appropriate fund type, or assisting with planned giving techniques.
