Parsons Kansas Foundation Parsons Area Community Foundation

Welcome to the Parsons Area Community Foundation!

The Parsons Area Community Foundation (PACF) was established in 1994 as a 501c3 non profit charitable organization for the benefit of those living in the communities of this area. Funded solely by contributions, it provides the vehicle for individuals to give back to the community where they have grown up, raised their family, or worked and made their living, and to provide enrichments for today and generations to come.

How Can I Make a Difference?

Through the community foundation, donors may support whatever charitable cause is most valued by them. Please see our types of funds and donor stories to understand the many opportunities for giving. Our granting history lists the recipients of over 1.2 million dollars invested in the community since the foundation's inception.

We are a member of the Kansas Association of Community Foundations, www.kansascfs.org, as well as the National Council on Foundations, www.cof.org. Both provide support and counsel to their members. In addition, PACF is affiliated with the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation for financial services, legal counsel, and assistance in day to day operations. The Greater Kansas City Community Foundation is certified by the Council on Foundations as meeting National Standards for Community Foundations, and through our affiliation, Parsons Area Community Foundation has implemented bylaws, policies and procedures to also meet the National Standards.

We now offer the opportunity to support the community through secure online donations:

The Parsons Area Community Foundation believes the strength of our communities is the same today as it was in the early years. Today we see this strength exemplified by neighbors giving to neighbors to enhance the quality of life in the communities in which we live. The Community Foundation provides the opportunity to build on that strength.


	Our Mission: To improve the quality of life in the greater Parsons area by increasing opportunities for charitable giving, connecting donors to community needs, and providing leadership on important community issues, now and for future generations. Our Vision: To improve our communities and the lives of their residents through the power of charitable giving, community leadership, and the impeccable stewardship of funds.
