Initiatives & Impact
Just like you, Hutchinson Community Foundation is passionate about making a difference in the Hutchinson and Reno County area.
We’ve been working for more than 35 years to bring changemakers together around the greatest opportunities to create a thriving community for all people:
Identify Gaps
We listen for the initiatives and causes that need support, and we work to leverage our moral, social, intellectual, reputational and financial capital to help partners make progress.
Connect Donors
We connect donors with opportunities we learn about so they can support issues that otherwise might not receive adequate funding.
Create Solutions
We work closely with nonprofits and other stakeholders to create innovative solutions to adaptive challenges, so our community becomes more connected, resilient and thriving.
Strategic Initiatives
A strong, diverse and inclusive local economy
Like many communities throughout the country, Reno County has experienced economic disruptions that have ignited a determination to place our bets in local people, places and ideas to preserve the areas we hold dear, provide upward mobility for all and cultivate an inclusive community resilient enough to weather the shifts in our ever-changing world.
Healthy, connected people and neighborhoods
We catalyze individuals and groups to find creative ways to enhance our spaces, bring people together and improve the wellness of our community.
A place with a culture of shared ownership, pride and belonging
Hutchinson Community Foundation believes the people of Reno County have the answers, the expertise and the wisdom to address our most pressing challenges and exciting opportunities and mobilizes people, organizations and initiatives to achieve thriving communities.
