About the Foundation
Match Month
During the month of February, donations to the Logan County Endowment Fund will be matched $1 for $1 by the Dane G. Hansen Foundation! Each year through 2025, the Dane G Hansen Foundation will continue to match up to $50,000 ($1 for $1) during our designated Match Month! Between our local donations and the Hansen match, our fund grows at a rate of $100,000 each year, at minimum, and that doesn’t include the investment returns!! A huge thank you for helping us grow this fund!
Also, if we reach $50,000, a “bonus gift” of $25,000 will be awarded to our foundation to build our local operating fund, for a total potential gift of $75,000. Our goal is to raise $50,000 each year so that we can fully leverage the bonus grant which brings us to a grand total of $125,000 per year!

Keep 5 in Kansas
We have an opportunity in Logan County to turn our hopes for the future into reality! If we capture a portion of the transfer of wealth from one generation to the next – even just 5% – by setting up endowments through the Logan County Community Foundation, we could provide a permanent source of funding for our local organizations and causes that will greatly improve the lives of the residents of Logan County.
