Sweet & Spicy Monterrey Dinner, Elk Co Match Event
2024-06-08 17:00 - 20:00
Sweet & Spicy, located in Howard, KS, is hosting a Monterrey Dinner on Saturday, June 8 from 5 – 8pm in which 50% of the proceeds will be donated to the Elk County Community Foundation’s Rural Match Fund. In addition, the Patterson Family Foundation will match donations received up to $70,000.
In 2023, ECCF received the opportunity to participate in a similar campaign through PFF and raised $97,000 with the help and support of Elk County citizens. That event allowed ECCF to distribute $167,000 to 18 local non-profit organizations.
PFF has given us a second opportunity; ECCF hopes to exceed last year’s funding and again distribute the money throughout our communities. The 2024 Match Event is currently underway and ends June 10. No donation is too small, and every donation is appreciated. To donate, contact Brandi Mast, Associate Director of ECCF at brandi.mast@centralkansascf.org or go to the website centralkansascf.org/donate. Donations can also be mailed to ECCF PO Box 956 Howard, KS 67349 or given to any ECCF Board Member.
PFF is a family-led foundation extending the legacy of Neal and Jeanne Patterson of Anthony, Kansas. It strives to lift our rural communities through health care, education, economic opportunity, and beyond!

State of the Foundation – Investment Strategies
2024-01-11 12:00 - 13:00
Please join us for the State of the Foundation – Investment Strategies
Date: January 11, 2024
Time: noon to 1 PM via Zoom (link below)
Purpose: The CKCF Finance and Investment Committee will be sharing preliminary investment performance results for the close of 2023. The Committee has been active in 2023 evaluating and assessing the investment landscape from the financial management perspective. As stewards of donor gifts, the Finance and Investment Committee along with the full CKCF board, recognize their role and responsibility for our Investment and Spending Policy. During 2023 a lot of fund and performance analysis was undertaken as a general measure of our financial management responsibilities. The CEO along with the Committee heard from, shared with, and connected with other community foundations on their state of investments including investment performance strategies and spending rates for endowments. Our findings have led us to expand our investment strategies beginning in 2024 after we close the year 2023.
This Zoom call is the opportunity for a Fund Advisor or other interested parties to learn more about our investment strategies and which funds will move within our overall investment strategy system into new or modified targeted strategies based on the type or classification of the fund, i.e. project vs endowment. We look forward to explaining the investment strategy system and how categories of funds will be realigned in January to kick off the new year.
