what we do

The Kossuth County Community Foundation connects people with the causes they care about and makes grants to nonprofit organizations enriching our communities.

We do this by helping to simplify the philanthropic process, giving generous people a way to support what matters to them. Gifts to the Community Foundation become part of a permanent endowment, which means they will benefit your community forever. Donors can make gifts to existing funds or create their own named fund to support the charities of their choosing. We invest gifts so they grow, maximizing the resources available to use for grantmaking that addresses community needs.

Kossuth County Community Foundation grants provide essential funding to nonprofits and government entities serving Kossuth County and its residents. Thanks to the generosity and vision of our donors, the Kossuth County Community Foundation is able to build stronger, more vibrant communities across Kossuth County today, and into the future.

The Kossuth County Community Foundation is led by a committee of local individuals from across the county with knowledge of the diverse needs of our communities. The governing committee develops local strategic plans and makes decisions regarding KCCF grantmaking.
