Goessel Community Foundation

 

GCF Match Campaign

From December 2, 2025 – December 31, 2025, Goessel Community Foundation (GCF) is hosting their Patterson Family Foundation (PFF) Match Event. Contributions during this month-long event will be matched to reach our goal of $100,000. In addition to supporting the fund*, 50% of matching dollars, per PFF’s policy, will support the GCF Impact Fund, used to award grants to community organizations and projects, helping ensure we can serve Goessel for generations to come. Thank you for your support!

*PFF will not match Donor Advised Funds.


Giving Back to Goessel: The concept is simple: By remembering your community in your legacy — by leaving just 5% of your estate to your local community foundation — you will help ensure your community’s future.

Across America rural communities face big challenges as economies change, populations shift, and government resources dramatically decline. Your Goessel Community Foundation offers a solution – a vehicle to help preserve our community’s existing wealth.

Goessel Community Foundation was founded in 2010 by a group of dedicated Goessel citizens to assist in providing resources for a broad range of existing and future charitable needs in the Goessel, Kansas area. The mission of the Goessel Community Foundation is to enhance the quality of educational, cultural, civic and economic life in Goessel both today and in the future by:

  • Enabling donors to fulfill their charitable interests
  • Building a permanent endowment
  • Facilitating prudent management and care of funds
  • Meeting community needs through grants, awards, and  scholarships.
