The Catholic Foundation of Northeast Kansas (CFNEK) conducted a stewardship enhancement study to evaluate a greater planned giving endeavor. The study helped us to better understand our current position and how we can best sustain our vision long into the future. CFNEK retained CCS Fundraising (CCS), an international nonprofit consulting firm with deep roots in the heartland and extensive experience in the faith sector and in Catholic organizations from Dioceses, parishes, and schools, to help conduct the study.
The study allowed us to gather insights on how deepening our gift-planning culture will be a catalyst for our mission to encourage stewardship and collaborate with parishioners, parishes, and institutions to develop additional resources and support for the vitality of the Church and its ministries.
Are you curious about how easy it is to open an endowment, a scholarship, or a donor advised fund at the Catholic Foundation of Northeast Kansas?
We would love to discuss your situation and philanthropic goals to explore your faith-aligned giving. Philanthropy really does start with a simple conversation.
