97 STAFF LISTING
Thirty years ago, seven people who were passionate about making Kansas
City a better place created what we now know to be the Greater Kansas
City Community Foundation.
The Community Foundation began when those seven individuals passed
a hat to collect a couple hundred dollars and some change. Now, more
than 2,200 funds have joined our family of giving. By the end of 2007,
our donors had given more than $1.25 billion to community causes in
just three decades.
If you want to give back to the place you call home, we encourage you
to give us a call. We can help you do everything from organizing and
automating your charitable giving to creating a giving plan that will last
for generations to come.
We invite you to read through our annual report, which will give you a
glimpse of the 30 years we have been serving people—just like you—
who want to make a difference.

Financials
One of the best things the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation
can do is to help a donor deepen his or her charitable passion. We always
ask, “What is important to you? What would you like to see improved in
your community?”
In 2007, our donors answered those questions loud and clear. They
suggested more than $195 million in grants to the community—that’s
$3.75 million each week! Grants were given to more than 3,600 different
nonprofits ranging from arts organizations to colleges and universities,
churches, synagogues and many other charitable organizations in Kansas
City and beyond. Individual grants ranged from $25 to multi-million
dollar investments.
The Foundation also welcomed 189 new donors to our family of giving,
the largest number of individuals, families and corporations to open
funds in a single year. We are excited to see so many new donors actively
giving back to the community and we will continue to involve even more
people—of all races and ages and our entire metropolitan area, north,
south, east and west—in the joy of making a difference.

Donor Stories
At the Community Foundation, we ask every donor, “What’s important
to you?” That’s because what is important to our donors is what is
important to us, whether a donor’s interest lies in the arts, education, the
environment, animal welfare or any other charitable cause.
Sometimes donors ask the Community Foundation for advice about
smart charitable investments—investments that can leverage the greatest
good for the future of our region. The Community Foundation engages
in community leadership work for precisely that reason.
The Community Foundation’s leadership work is based on the priorities
articulated in the 2001 “Citistates Report” and the “Time to Get It Right”
reports issued in 2005 and 2007. One of those priorities is strengthening
the region’s urban education pipeline to prepare all of our children for
success. If this is something that also is important to you, we certainly
invite you to join us in this effort.
In the 30 years since the Community Foundation was established, our
donors have given more than $1.25 billion in grants to the nonprofit
community. To celebrate our 30th birthday, we are sharing 30 stories
about people who have carved out a place in their lives and hearts for
charitable giving. We are grateful to all of our donors for making a
difference in the community in their own unique ways. Thank you for
making Kansas City a better place.

Seven Founders with a vision
Greater Kansas City Community Foundation
Fulfilling Dreams through Charitable Giving
O
ur founders believed that philanthropy
is the opportunity and responsibility of everyone, not just
a few. Having begun in 1978 with just seven people and
a couple hundred dollars, the Foundation has grown to more than $1
billion in assets, spread among more than 2,200 funds dedicated to the
causes that are important to the individuals, families and businesses
who established them.
Now one of the 10 largest community foundations in the country,
and with over $1.25 billion in grants distributed since inception, the
Community Foundation works side by side with Kansas City’s donors
to fulfill community dreams through the power of giving.
“Thirty years of charitable giving is truly a milestone to celebrate,” said
Tom Bloch, chair of the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation’s
board of directors. “We are grateful to our donors for their deep
commitment to improving our region’s quality of life. It’s what the
Community Foundation is all about: more giving, smarter investments,
a better Kansas City.”

Beth Smith
Edward A. and Beth K. Smith Philanthropic Fund
A legacy of Listening and Building Together
“D
o justice; love mercy; and walk
humbly with your God,” Beth Smith learned as a child.
Both parents and grandparents (Lithuanian immigrants)
were observant adherents to Judaism. “I wasn’t born with a silver
spoon but a community spoon in my mouth,” Beth mused.
Ed Smith, one of the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation’s
seven founders, and his wife, Beth, were for many years one of
Kansas City’s dynamic duos. Beth was influenced by the bright
and charismatic Marjorie Powell Allen, also a founder of the
Community Foundation. They worked together to establish the
Central Exchange, an interracial and intergenerational venue
where women “could pick up the check.” And in 1979, Ed and Beth
established the Edward A. and Beth K. Smith Philanthropic Fund.
Ed has since passed on but Beth continues to support the nonprofit
sector. She considers her forte to be “drawing strength and wisdom from
others; listening and building together.” And that is the spirit of the
Women’s Employment Network Fund—also housed at the Community
Foundation—one of the many legacies Beth has given to Kansas City.

Helen Nelson
Helen H. Nelson Fund
Strengthening our Community, Investing in its Future
P
hilanthropy was a new adventure to Helen
Nelson in 1980, but she was committed to giving back to
her community. Helen established a donor advised fund
at the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation to organize her
philanthropy—and she loved every minute of it.
For nearly two decades Helen appreciated the expertise and research the
Community Foundation provided about issues affecting Kansas City. She
also enjoyed receiving updates on the impact of her grants. Helen was
passionate about supporting downtown revitalization, education, accessible
arts and medical research.
At her death, Helen bestowed a living legacy for Kansas City’s future
generations. Her generosity will live on through the Helen H. Nelson Fund,
dedicated to fulfilling Helen’s charitable dreams for Kansas City’s future.

1981
TOM & MARY BLOCH
Thomas M. and Mary S. Bloch Philanthropic Fund
A CEO Who Left His Family’s Company to Follow His Heart
T
om Bloch was CEO of H&R Block, the
world’s largest tax-preparation firm, and the son of the
company’s founder. He was making $1 million a year, but
something was missing. After much soul-searching, Tom resigned to
become an inner-city math school teacher in Kansas City.
Then one night, Tom was surfing the Internet and became worried
about the very low youth volunteer participation rate—a concern he
shared with his wife, Mary. They transformed their worry into an effort
to fuel student volunteerism. Together they founded the Youth Service
Alliance of Greater Kansas City.
This is just one of the many charitable passions Tom and Mary have
supported through the Thomas M. and Mary S. Bloch Philanthropic
Fund, established in 1981 at the Greater Kansas City Community
Foundation. They enjoy helping all of their favorite charities—
including universities, the arts, and their synagogue—in an organized
and easy-to-manage way.

1982
Don & Adele Hall
Donald J. and Adele C. Hall Donor Advisory Fund
Inspiring Gifts, Large and Small
C
harmingly down to earth, Don and
Adele Hall are known for their stellar reputation, which
is synonymous with philanthropy. Arts organizations,
hospitals, universities and countless nonprofits have benefited from their
time and championship. In 1982, the couple established the Donald
J. and Adele C. Hall Donor Advisory Fund at the Greater Kansas City
Community Foundation, which is also the beneficiary of Don’s time and
talent as a founder and Adele’s service as board chair years later.
Don and Adele credit their families for passing on philanthropic values.
Together they share a giving philosophy: “One ounce of volunteer
participation gives the management of a nonprofit the elbow grease and
time to get the job done,” Don said. “Even getting just a little involved in
an organization that does good is exciting.”
It’s impossible to quantify the total impact of the couple’s philanthropy
on Kansas City, including major commitments to the University of
Kansas and Children’s Mercy Hospital. But the Halls themselves don’t
focus on the grand scale of what has been accomplished. They look to the
future. And so the list of projects blessed by Don and Adele continues to
grow—one human investment at a time.

Kansas City’s Hispanic Community
Hispanic Development fund
Our Community Comes Full Circle
I
n 1983, a grant from the Hall Family
Foundation helped establish the Hispanic Development
Fund to build an endowment for programs that foster
expression of Hispanic culture and improve the quality of life for
Hispanic families in Greater Kansas City.
One year later, the Hispanic Development Fund created a scholarship
fund for students of Hispanic descent who are pursuing a college
education. Since its inception, the fund has awarded more than 2,046
scholarships, totaling almost $1.6 million.
“The Hispanic Scholarship Fund continues to be one of the few local
scholarship programs in the country that consistently award more than
80 scholarships each year,” said Ramon Murguia, Hispanic Scholarship
Fund Advisory Board Chair. “We are proud that our scholarship
fund has contributed to the success of many, and we plan to continue
investing in our community’s future by providing support for education.”

1984
Don Chisholm
The Don Chisholm Memorial Fund
Leading the Way to a Charitable Lifestyle
D
on Chisholm was a talented lawyer at
the firm of Stinson, Mag & Fizzell, now Stinson Morrison
Hecker. His legacy to Kansas City reaches beyond his
chosen profession, and his vision will be appreciated for generations to come.
A strong supporter of charitable giving and a mentee of the legendary
Arthur Mag, Don introduced his clients to the benefits of contributing
their estates to the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation to
support their favorite charitable causes.
One of Don’s many claims to fame was drafting documents to establish
the Jacob L. and Ella C. Loose Foundation, Kansas City’s first milliondollar charity. Don served on that foundation’s board for 41 years. When
the idea for a community foundation was proposed, Don was there to
help it along as a founding director, and in 1984 played a key role in
establishing many of the funds added during that critical year.
During his lifetime, Don helped open new doors to charitable giving.
Today, many attorneys, accountants and financial advisors follow his
lead, and for several years, the Don Chisholm Memorial Fund recognized
special professionals in their commitment to helping clients give back.

i n k a n s a s c i t y: In 2007, Greater Kansas City Community Foundation donors granted nearly
$200 million to charitable causes from more than 2,000 funds.

Karen & Mike Herman
Herman Family Foundation Fund
Passing on Charitable Values to the Next Generation
M
ike and Karen Herman taught their
children at a young age about the importance of helping
others. Their approach was to lead by example, much like
Mike’s mentor at Marion Labs, Ewing Kauffman. Mike and Karen began
talking with the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation in 1985
about establishing the Herman Family Foundation Fund.
“I remember one day my corporate salary was published in the paper,”
Mike said. “Our 12-year-old came home and said, ‘Dad! Are we
millionaires?!’ She wasn’t aware of any wealth because we give our
money to the community. We want to create our heaven on earth.”
Over the years, in addition to giving financially, the Hermans have
given their time and talent. They have been driving forces behind
numerous civic organizations including Karen’s presidency at the
Women’s Foundation and Mike’s presidency at the Ewing Marion
Kauffman Foundation.
The Herman children enjoy volunteering and approach each donation
as an investment. “Our children embrace that some of their inheritance
will go to charity,” Karen said. “And we’re proud to see them give to the
causes they care about.”

Kansas City Securities Association
Kansas City Securities Association Education Endowment Fund
Scholarships for Urban Youth
T
he Kansas City Securities Association, an
organization of more than 40 investment professionals
in the Kansas City area, established the KCSA Education
Endowment Fund in 1986 to provide financial support for tuition,
special projects, needs or emergency assistance to students.
KCSA has awarded more than 200 college scholarships totaling an
estimated $1.3 million to members of Kansas City’s Marching Cobras,
student athletes selected by the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum,
student athletes at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, and
members of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Kansas City. Currently
there are 41 students attending college with the help of KCSA
Education Endowment Fund scholarships.
In addition to the scholarships, KCSA recently established the
KCSA Education Endowment Fund at the Greater Kansas City
Community Foundation.

Kansas city’s Children
Plaza Fountain Fund for Children’s Mercy Hospital
Doing More than Just Wishing for Health and Happiness
T
he hopes and dreams behind every coin
tossed into a fountain on the Country Club Plaza live on
because the coins are donated to the Plaza Fountain Fund
for Children’s Mercy Hospital at the Greater Kansas City Community
Foundation. It is a tradition that picked up momentum more than two
decades ago in 1987 and continues with the help of Highwoods Properties.
“The Plaza had seven filling stations and Miller replaced them with
fountains in 1985,” said Jeannette Nichols, widow of Miller Nichols who
founded the fund. “He didn’t think too much about people putting coins
into the fountains, but when they did he wanted to give the money to
Children’s Mercy Hospital. He always had a great affinity for it.”
“Miller Nichols hoped that these coins could provide seed money for
an endowment for Children’s Mercy Hospital, and he approached the
Community Foundation confident that his wishes would be carried
out beyond his lifetime,” said George Bittner, executive vice president
of the Community Foundation. “The Plaza Fountain Fund will always
memorialize the wishes of its founder.”

Irven & NeVada Linscomb
Irven E. and NeVada P. Linscomb Foundation Fund
Helping Needy Children in the Northland
I
n the mid-1930s, NeVada Linscomb, born to
a German immigrant family, met Irven Linscomb. Irven,
himself born into poverty in Texas, was working for the
Chase Bag Company in Kansas City’s River Market. Soon Irven and
NeVada started their own company, building a successful business that
thrived for many years.
It was in 1957 when Irven met Bill Zimmer and joined Zimmer
Companies. “Irven was a man of integrity who took only calculated
risks and yet was great fun to be with,” Bill said.
After Irven died, NeVada opened the Irven E. and NeVada P. Linscomb
Foundation Fund in 1988 at the Greater Kansas City Community
Foundation. A year later, Bill persuaded NeVada to set up a charitable
trust to ensure that her charitable passions could be realized.
NeVada passed away eight years later, and through the Community
Foundation the couple’s legacy lives on. The Irven E. and NeVada
P. Linscomb Foundation Fund supports services for children in the
Northland, including “Miles of Smiles,” a mobile dental program.

Jacob & Ella Loose
Jacob L. and Ella C. Loose Foundation Fund
A Century of Serving Poor and Needy Children
I
n the early years of the 20th century, Jacob
Loose and his brother, Joseph, built the Loose-Wiles Biscuit
Company, marketed as Sunshine Biscuits, into one of the
nation’s largest producers of cookies and crackers.
Following the deaths of their two infant children, Jacob and his wife,
Ella, became passionate about supporting poor and needy children and
families in Kansas City.
When Jacob passed away in 1923, his estate established the Jacob
Loose Million Dollar Charity Fund Association. It was Kansas City’s
first $1 million foundation, and it was housed at the First National Bank.
Then, the Jacob L. and Ella C. Loose Foundation Fund was established in
1989 at the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation to carry out the
work of the charitable trust.

From 1920 to 1940, this foundation provided thousands of children
with pasteurized milk and ice. As children’s needs evolve, the Loose
Foundation, with assistance from the Community Foundation, adapts
the foundation’s grant making strategies to best meet the intent of the
original donors.

African-American Nursing Community
General Hospital #2 Perpetual Trust Fund
Promoting Racial Equity in the Medical Field
L
ike many cities, Kansas City’s history
includes dismal struggles with racial equity. At the turn of
the century, African-American patients, doctors and
nurses were restricted to providing and receiving medical treatment
at Kansas City’s General Hospital #2, a separate facility from General
Hospital #1, which served only Caucasians.
Years later, General Hospital #2 merged with General Hospital #1 to
become Truman Medical Center. Until that merger, General Hospital #2’s
School of Nursing operated for 46 years and graduated 715 students.
A group of nurses who attended the School of Nursing established the
General Hospital #2 Perpetual Trust Fund in 1990 at the Greater Kansas
City Community Foundation. They share a mutual passion for providing
scholarships to African-American students in Greater Kansas City who
are attending accredited nursing programs.

Charlotte Street Foundation Fund
A Grassroots Approach to Art and Giving
I
n 1991, early in his business career, David
Hughes, Jr. served on the philanthropic decision-making
team at American Century Companies. He primarily
focused on giving in the arts community. Little did he know that five
years later he would leave his corporate job and make charitable giving
his life’s work.
David had a vision for turning Kansas City into a magnet for artists. He
wanted to create an environment where civic, business and philanthropic
leaders, as well as a growing portion of the general public, valued and
supported artists and creative individuals. After much consideration, he
left the for-profit sector and established the Charlotte Street Foundation
Fund at the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation.

An installation by Pat Alexander and Michael Coverse titled “Separated at Birth” at Urban Culture Project Space
“Many people are generous with large arts organizations and that’s
important. However, support for the entire arts ecosystem is critical.
And it’s the artists who—collectively—have a huge impact on the
art, culture and economy of today,” David said. “Very few people pay
attention to human capital, and artists struggle to simply exist. Charlotte
Street wants artists to thrive in Kansas City, and for our region to be
known as a hot-bed of creativity.”

Martha Lee Tranby Music Enrichment Fund
Piano Teacher’s Bequest Makes the Music Last Forever
M
artha Lee Tranby was a high school
piano teacher, organ player for her church, and choir
conductor for two other churches. For more than 45 years,
hundreds of kids came to her home for piano lessons.
Martha lived modestly and didn’t think of herself as a philanthropist.
Nevertheless, she took the advice of her attorney and established the
Martha Lee Tranby Music Enrichment Fund as a legacy to her parents.
“She wanted to do something that would permanently benefit the music
community in Kansas City,” said her attorney, Myron Sildon.
Myron introduced Martha to the Greater Kansas City Community
Foundation in 1992. “She established a modest fund, saw to it that it
was operating as she desired, and was able to suggest grants and enjoy
her modest wealth during her lifetime,” Myron said.
Martha passed away in 2004, and the Community Foundation sees to it
that her fund helps others enrich the community with music precisely
as Martha envisioned.

Kansas City Southern
Kansas City Southern Charitable Fund
A rich history of giving back to the region
A
rthur E. Stilwell founded Kansas City
Southern in 1887 with a bold vision to provide a direct
north-south rail route to the Gulf of Mexico, moving
grain, coal, lumber and other minerals across a growing nation.
Considered to be eccentric during a time when other railroads adopted
an east-west route, Stilwell pushed forward with his dream of the
north-south rail line, undaunted by those who labeled his aspirations
unrealistic. Stilwell’s strategy—and Kansas City Southern—was an
unqualified success.
For more than a century, the leaders and hard-working railroaders at
Kansas City Southern have embraced Stilwell’s tenacious ingenuity,
making Kansas City Southern what it is today. Deeply committed to
the community, the company established the Kansas City Southern
Charitable Fund at the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation
in 1993 and later launched a matching gifts program to encourage
employees to experience the joys of charitable giving.

Lavert Murray
Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Celebration Fund
Overcoming adversity through the power of education
I
n 1994, LaVert Murray and a capable group
of inspired citizens formed the Martin Luther King, Jr.
Holiday Celebration Fund. A tribute to the leadership
of Dr. King, the fund has been a ray of hope for many students seeking
a college education. “Students are more likely to seek out additional
scholarships when they’ve received a helping hand,” said LaVert.
The fund honors Dr. King not only in name but also in spirit. In fact, each
prospective scholarship recipient must demonstrate how he or she has
applied Dr. King’s teachings to overcome a specific adversity through the
power of education.
“Not all of our scholarship recipients are perfect academic performers,”
said LaVert. “We reward students for being role models and getting grades
that are above average. That’s what Dr. King would expect from youth
who work to become future leaders despite their everyday struggles.”

Pete Levi
Levi Family Foundation for the Study of Holocaust Archives Fund
Lessons from a love story
P
ete Levi’s father, Kurt Levi, fled to America
from Germany during Adolf Hitler’s reign, leaving behind
his sweetheart, Ruth, who would become his wife—and
Pete’s mother. Years later, sorting through his parents’ belongings, Pete
stumbled across dozens of beautifully composed letters, handwritten in
German, from his father to his mother during the time they were apart.
Pete hired an expert to translate the letters. With each translation, Pete
recognized that he had an historical treasure on his hands. Each letter
offered a snapshot into daily life during a pivotal time in history, all
wrapped up in a love story.
Pete established the Levi Family Foundation for the Study of Holocaust
Archives Fund at the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation.
Now others can experience history through the heartwarming
correspondence between his parents all those years ago.
And to think that in 1995 the letters were sitting in a closet in Kurt’s
Plaza apartment in an old tattered box—the same box they had been in
since 1938!

Diocese of Kansas City— St. Joseph
Central City School Fund
Opening a World of Opportunity
N
eighborhood schools are critical
stabilizers in an urban community. That’s exactly why the
Diocese of Kansas City—St. Joseph established the Central
City School Fund at the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation.
The fund is dedicated to promoting values-based, quality education to
children in the urban core.
By 1996, the fund was deeply engaged in providing financial support
to the Central City Schools. The Diocese also established a partner
fund, the Central City Schools Hearst Scholarship Fund, to provide
needs-based tuition assistance.
“During my first year as executive director, reviewing the scholarship
applications was a new and shocking experience with both painful
and joyful lessons,” said Dan Ryan, executive director of the Central
City School Fund. “The painful part was seeing children’s names
attached to statistical poverty. The joy came from the bright world
of opportunity and hope that the Central City School Fund makes
possible for these kids.”

In 2003, Americans donated
f r o m c o a s t t o c o a s t: $5.9 billion of real estate to charitable organizations across the country.
i n k a n s a s c i t y: Ewing Marion Kauffman’s gift of the Kansas City Royals major league baseball team was
the first charitable contribution of its kind in history.
1997
Ewing Marion Kauffman
Ewing M. Kauffman Fund for Greater Kansas City
Double Play: Charitable Move Keeps Royals in Kansas City
E
wing Marion Kauffman loved baseball.
He also was deeply committed to giving back. A carefully
crafted estate plan reflected both of these passions.
Ewing’s gift of the Kansas City Royals baseball team created a regional
benefit so compelling that it marked the first time in history that the
Internal Revenue Service had approved a charitable deduction for the
gift of a major league sports team. The Greater Kansas City Community
Foundation, in turn, helped 32 other donors establish funds to ensure the
team’s stability prior to its sale.
Reflecting his passion to help others, Ewing established the Ewing
Marion Kauffman Foundation in the late 1960s to advance education and
entrepreneurship. In addition, the Ewing M. Kauffman Fund for Greater
Kansas City and the Royals Fund were established at the Community
Foundation. The Royals Fund received its last contribution in relation to
the Royals succession plan in 1997.
Among Ewing’s many legacies was his inspiration to other donors to think
creatively about giving assets other than cash and marketable securities
to their favorite charitable organizations. Whether the charitable gift is
real estate, closely-held stock, or a baseball team, visionary donors and
“alternative assets” are a winning combination for the community.

The Dickinson Family
Gary Dickinson Family Charitable Fund
Revitalizing the Heart of Kansas City
T
he Dickinson family’s roots in the region
run deep. Gary grew up on a family farm in northern
Missouri and met Ann, from Hannibal, in college. Ann
and Gary raised four children and pursued an active life of community
involvement during their 30 years of marriage.
Gary founded Bank Midwest in the early 1970s and oversaw its
impressive growth until he was tragically killed in a car accident two
decades later. Ann continued Gary’s legacy as chair and owner of
Dickinson Financial Corporation, headquartered in Kansas City.
In 1998, Ann and her family established the Gary Dickinson Family
Charitable Fund at the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation to
fulfill the family’s wide range of charitable priorities. The Dickinsons are
especially supportive of Kansas City’s downtown revitalization, a tribute
to Gary’s passion for local and regional economic development.

Dick & Sue Bond
Dick and Sue Bond Family Foundation Fund
Making Kansas City Better for the Next Generation
D
ick and Sue Bond want to leave a legacy
to future generations. But they want that legacy to be
more than just money. They want to give the gift of giving.
To make their charitable dream a reality, the former president of
the Kansas Senate and his wife turned to the Greater Kansas City
Community Foundation.
“We started by setting up the Dick and Sue Bond Family Foundation
Fund in 1999,” Dick said. “And then we set up a fund for our
grandchildren. This will be more valuable to them than a direct
inheritance.” The Bonds’ idea inspired the Community Foundation
to offer the Next Generation Fund to all of its donors. “Children and
grandchildren can learn philanthropic values at any age,” said Dick.
The couple, long-time supporters of Johnson County, is currently
rallying the community around another type of legacy, the Johnson
County Education and Research Triangle, a concept designed to
enhance our community’s competitiveness through strategic investment
in educational excellence.

Katie and Andrew Fund
Providing a Social Education
W
hen Darcy Howe’s children were 12
and 10, she and her husband, John Black, planted a seed of
giving. Hoping to give the kids perspective on the world
outside of their comfortable upbringing, they set up the Katie and
Andrew Fund at the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation in
2000. “The idea was to put structure around our parenting on financial
issues and the kids’ social education,” Darcy said.
Each year Katie and Andrew review the fund’s returns and get involved
by going on site visits to their favorite charities. Darcy says making a
financial donation is only part of the fund’s benefit. “It’s not just about
the money. The fund has had a ripple effect in getting the kids more
involved in volunteer efforts. They’re discovering which causes mean
the most to them, like their support of Ronald McDonald House.
This philanthropic self discovery is important for their future and the
future of our community.”

Every Gift Makes a Difference
L
aura McKnight leads a charitable lifestyle
around the clock. By day she’s the president and CEO of
the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation, and by
night she and her husband, Clay Barker, deliberately choose to make
charitable giving part of their lives.
Together Laura and Clay enjoy a busy household with five daughters
ages 2–19. One day, two-year-old Lindy, admitted to Children’s Mercy
Hospital for an outpatient procedure, suffered severe complications.
“Philanthropy has created a margin of excellence at Children’s Mercy
Hospital that enables it to hire the best and the brightest,” Laura said.
“Unquestionably, the technical proficiency of the staff at Children’s
Mercy is why Lindy is here today.”
Laura and Clay support Children’s Mercy and all of the organizations
they are passionate about through the very modest but mighty Laura
McKnight and Clay Barker Fund, established at the Community
Foundation in 2001. They love Kansas City and they give back because
they know that every gift—even a small gift—makes a difference.

Mr. & Mrs. Isidor Wachstein & Their Son Julius & Thau Family Trust Fund
Making the Move from Check Writing to Investing
C
laude Thau was among dozens of savvy
donors who wanted more information about the effectiveness
of nonprofit organizations to be available online.
Claude is an energetic idealist with an idea-a-minute way of thinking.
He’s also an advisor to the Mr. & Mrs. Isidor Wachstein & Their Son
Julius & Thau Family Trust Fund at the Greater Kansas City Community
Foundation. “It’s not enough to give a donation and call it done,” Claude
said. “People should engage with nonprofits and ask questions. Figure out if
this really is the best use of their money.”
In 2002, the Community Foundation brought the idea to life in Kansas City
and called it DonorEdge. DonorEdge helps donors determine the difference
they want to make with their charitable dollars. It does this by encouraging
nonprofits to share information and results using an online platform.
“My view is long-term,” Claude said. “I want people to think differently
about charitable giving. This will pay dividends for centuries.”

Barbara Unell
Back in the Swing Fund
Joyful, Healthy and Proactive Living After Breast Cancer
B
efore Back in the Swing, nowhere in
Kansas City was the transition from cancer patient to
cancer survivor addressed in the form of a survivorship
care plan. All that has changed, thanks to the vision and passion of
Barbara Unell.
Fighting breast cancer required Barbara to dedicate all of her mental
and physical energy to getting her life back. But when she completed
her treatment, she was surprised to learn that there were no resources
to help her get back into the swing of life.
Barbara was inspired when she read “The News Was Bad; I Went to
Bendel’s,” an article written by breast cancer survivor Ellen Tien, who
observed that shopping offered hope that life moves forward. Retail
therapy became the cornerstone of Kansas City’s annual experiential
fundraiser, Back in the Swing.
Barbara established the Back in the Swing Fund in 2003, and retail
therapy just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Last year alone, Back in
the Swing raised over $600,000, much of it $25 at a time.

mpactKC. That’s the name of a group of
professionals who are dedicated to encouraging young people
in Kansas City to join together and make a difference in
the community.
The team is made up of individuals who pool their money to make an
impact. The Greater Kansas City Community Foundation is the behindthe-scenes support system for the ImpactKC Fund, established in 2004.
This allows the group to focus on learning about the needs of our region
and putting its dollars where they really count.
Each year ImpactKC reviews grant applications from nonprofit
organizations and hosts meetings dedicated to expanding the membership’s
community knowledge and access to volunteer opportunities.
Setting aggressive annual goals to raise a significant amount of money for
charitable causes enables ImpactKC to leverage the strength and power of
a team, well beyond the sum of its individual parts, through fundraising,
education and volunteering.

Exchange, where she worked before leaving to head up the
Kansas City Association of Trusts and Foundations. The Association
merged with the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation, and Jan
became the combined organization’s first president and CEO.
A group of generous donors established the Janice C. Kreamer
Community Fund to honor Jan when she retired in 2005. The fund’s
three-year capacity building grant competition resulted in more than
$600,000 in grants to local organizations.
“Jan is an amazing leader,” said Laura McKnight, Jan’s successor at the
Community Foundation. “Not a day goes by that I don’t thank my
lucky stars for Jan’s mentorship and the many lessons she taught me.
It is true that she built the Community Foundation from $12 million
to over $1 billion,” said Laura, “but Jan’s greatest legacy is the culture
of innovation, integrity, respect and passion for the mission that she
instilled at the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation. Now that’s
capacity building.”

Bernadette and Richard Miller Charitable Fund
Great Faith in Helping Youth through Education
B
ernadette and Dick Miller take great joy
in seeing their children flourish in adulthood and become
parents themselves. So why, with nine children and 29
grandchildren, do they give their money away to people they do not know?
“We give back to the community because it’s an extension of our Catholic
faith,” Dick said. “We try to assist the poor, disadvantaged, elderly and ill.
That is important to us. We are also committed to education at all levels
and to the arts.”
The couple established the Bernadette and Dick Miller Charitable Fund
at the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation. The focus of their
support for education is providing scholarships for individual students
to attend Catholic high schools and colleges, and paying the tuition
for entire classes of urban youth to attend Catholic schools. They also
provide tickets at no charge for hundreds of high school and college
students to attend the Lyric Opera and the Kansas City Symphony, which
encompasses both of their interests in the performing arts and education.
“We have a small foundation, but we do what we can,” Dick said. “It’s
amazing to watch how even the smallest gift can change a person’s life. We
receive far more in return than we give.”
Dick also oversees the Catholic Family Foundation Fund, established at
the Community Foundation in 2006.

In Pursuit of Excellence in Research and Care, Right Here in Kansas City
M
any know Barbara Allen for her 20
years of service in the Kansas Legislature. Others might
fondly remember her mother, Marjorie Powell Allen, a
civic leader and founder of the Greater Kansas City Community
Foundation. But what few people know is that Barbara was diagnosed
with breast cancer just a few years ago. Barbara turned to the Dana-Farber
Cancer Institute in Boston because it offered top-notch treatment. She
participated in a clinical trial that she believes saved her life.
“I had the opportunity to travel for my treatment,” Barbara said. “But not
everybody is so fortunate. We need to ensure all breast cancer patients
in Kansas City have access to world-class health care and to cutting edge
clinical trials because everyone in our region deserves to receive the
highest standard of cancer care possible.”
Barbara Allen
Barbara already has quite a track record in the fight against breast cancer.
From the “file and fight” Kansas income tax return check-off, to the
Kansas breast cancer license plate program, to enabling legislation for a
Johnson County research and education sales tax, Barbara’s leadership
has real traction. In 2007, she established the Driven to Cure Foundation
Fund at the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation, paving the way
for a healthier region.

Fund Listing
An absolutely critical principle in our work at the Greater Kansas City
Community Foundation is to always ask, “What is important to you?”
We ask that question of every donor, every nonprofit organization and every
board member—anyone with whom we interact. We want to know, “What is
important to you? What do you know about the community? What are the things
you would like to see improve in Kansas City to make it an even better place?”
When a charitable fund is established at the Community Foundation, it is
the donor who determines the purpose of the fund. As the donor’s partner in
charitable giving, we ensure that the fund follows the donor’s intent.
We are grateful to our donors for their passion and commitment to improving
our region’s quality of life. This fund listing includes only funds that have given
us permission to publish their names and were in existence in 2007.
Funds are listed alphabetically. If a fund is established with one of our
affiliates, the fund name will be followed with that affiliate’s initials.
