What is WCF?

Wamego Community Foundation (WCF) is a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization established to help donors build a lasting source of funds for scholarships, community projects, and contributions to charitable causes.

WCF is a tax-exempt organization that manages a pool of investment assets and periodically distributes portions of the assets or income earned by those assets to various other charitable causes and organizations.

While a community foundation is technically considered a charity because of its charitable mission and its tax-exempt status, it seldom provides direct charitable services; rather, it is a source of funding for other charitable organizations.

The Board of Directors of Wamego Community Foundation meets monthly to conduct the business of the Foundation. A portion of the Board of Directors is elected annually from members of the community. The community advisors are a voluntary group appointed by the president of the Board. Each director elected at the annual meeting is elected for a term of three years. A director may be twice elected to a three-year term. The Board of Directors consists of volunteers from a wide range of occupations.
