Meet Our Staff

It is our privilege to serve the place we call home and the people we call neighbors and friends.

We will continue our work in the areas where we and our board of directors believe we can make the biggest impact. Our initiatives aren’t just boxes we check…they’re our passions. Together with our donors and nonprofit partners, we’re constantly looking for ways to make life even better for the people of Reno County — the place we love.

Sincerely, The Staff of Hutchinson Community Foundation | Buhler Community Foundation
