Who We Are and What We Do
​
The Council Grove Area Foundation (CGAF) is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization that was created by and for the people in the Council Grove and Surrounding Areas. We enable those with philanthropic interest to easily and effectively support the issues they care about immediately, or through their will. As a tax-exempt public charity, our foundation builds and strengthens our community by making it possible for a wide range of donors to create permanent, named funds to meet critical needs. The CGAF accepts gifts from private citizens, local corporations, other foundations, and government agencies. We aim to serve donors, nonprofit organizations and the local community.
Our Foundation is guided by a board of recognized area citizens who are knowledgeable, actively involved and passionate about the future of our rural communities. ​​​​​​​​​
