Halstead Community Foundation: “Who We Are” Facebook Campaign
The Halstead Community Foundation “Who We Are” Campaign was run during the 2017 Giving Tuesday as a way to raise awareness for the Foundation. One post a week leading up to Giving Tuesday featured grants, scholarships, gifts of grain and estate planning. Check out the campaign posts on their FACEBOOK PAGE.

Hesston Community Foundation: “I Am Invested” USD 460 Endowment Fund Campaign
Just before school started, Shana Smith, Hesston Community Foundation director, made a presentation to USD 460 teachers, staff and administrators about the value of the foundation funds benefiting the school district. Her goal was to sign these individuals up for payroll deduction to develop the funds. She also made appeals to the school board during their meetings and had a table at registration to raise awareness among parents for how the Foundation partners with the school. She was able to sign 17 staff members up for payroll deduction in a hugely successful appeal.

CKCF: “Leaders of CKCF” Facebook Campaign
In an attempt to recognize our board members and raise awareness for the brilliant minds that are leading CKCF behind the scenes, we developed the “Leaders of CKCF” Facebook Campaign. This has been wildly successful, garnering nearly 4,000 organic impressions, nearly 600 post clicks and nearly 360 post engagements. People love to see people and show support for their success!
