Volunteering 

With Hutchinson Community Foundation

Board & Standing Committees

Thank you for your interest in serving on a standing committee or the board of Hutchinson Community Foundation. Serving a nonprofit organization can be a rewarding experience and an opportunity for personal and professional growth. It also requires a commitment of your time, expertise and financial resources.

We know that every person is more diverse than the boxes they check on a form, but we want to know you better and this is a good place to start.

The annual deadline to submit a Profile Form of interest for board or standing committee service is August 15.

Youth Philanthropy Council

Armed with $5,000, high school students from across Reno County discuss local issues of concern to youth, learn about grantmaking, and award grants to youth-serving organizations. The Dillon family established the Youth Philanthropy Council Endowment to provide money for the grants and program administration, in honor of Dick Dillon’s extensive philanthropic work in our community.
