The purpose of the community foundation is to encourage individuals to make tax-deductible charitable donations to be utilized along with possible grants, government programs, government loans, and other funds. These combined funds can then be utilized to improve the quality of life in Cheyenne County.

The St. Francis Community Foundation was formed in 2007, replacing the New Generation Fund Inc. In 2018, we changed our name to Cheyenne County Kansas Community Foundation to reflect our true purpose: serving all of Cheyenne County. We are affiliated with the Greater Northwest Kansas Community Foundation, who provides consultation, back office support, investment and oversight services.
