USD 331 Enrichment Foundation Partners with SCCF
Posted Tuesday October 18, 2022
South Central Community Foundation (SCCF) is excited to announce the partnership with USD 331 Enrichment Foundation.
With a long history of serving South Central Kansas, SCCF was thrilled to be selected as the new administrator for the Enrichment Foundation’s annual granting and help grow their financial assets.
The Enrichment Foundation was formed at the beginning of 2016 by a 7 member board including Eric Dunn, Sheila DeWeese, Nancy Hageman, Michele Kyle, Mike Maloney, Kenton Rosenhagen, and Nathan Durr. These Board Members were all local and had a passion for the community and education, establishing the goal to provide additional learning opportunities in band/music, drama and art programs, technology and computers, leadership, and sports equipment.
Trying to bridge the gap between budget cuts and providing their communities with quality education, the Enrichment Foundation granted over $450,000 to USD 331 from 2016-2020.
Earlier this year the Enrichment Foundation Board elected to dissolve their nonprofit status and reached out to SCCF for help with the financials, daily operations, and committee correspondence.
With an incredible seed money of over $900,000, the Enrichment Foundation established two endowed funds at SCCF called the Kingman Innovative Learning Fund and the Norwich Innovative Learning Fund to help both communities. SCCF will continuing working with local volunteers to help select each year’s grantees.
“SCCF was so thrilled to be selected as the new face of the Enrichment Foundation,” said SCCF Director, Holly Launchbaugh, “We are looking forward to continuing their Foundation’s incredible legacy and supporting the schools when they need it most.”
