The KSU Foundation is K-State's strategic partner for philanthropy. We inspire and guide philanthropy toward university priorities to boldly advance K-State. Foundation staff members work in close partnership with university administrators, deans and faculty to secure charitable contributions from individuals, corporations and foundations to support identified priorities for the university and K-State 2025. Gifts received through the foundation fund undergraduate and graduate student scholarships, establish faculty chairs and professorships, provide college and departmental support, and enhance the campus infrastructure. After the money is raised, it must be prudently managed. This function is managed by foundation staff members who work under the guidance of an advisory committee of trustees. Note: The Kansas State University Foundation was established in 1944 and is a separate, independent entity chartered by the state of Kansas as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit education corporation. Gifts made to support K-State through the KSU Foundation are used according to the donor’s wishes and may not be reallocated by the state. Gifts to the foundation are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.

The Kansas Masonic Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established for the purpose of expanding Masonic Philanthropy in the fields of charitable, educational, and scientific programs. The Foundation is totally funded by voluntary gifts and endowments from Kansas Masons, their families, and friends. No portion of the dues of any Masonic body goes to the Foundation. The Foundation was initiated in March of 1966 at the 110th annual communication of the MW Grand Lodge of AF&AM of Kansas when M∴W∴ Richard L. Becker, under the Grand Mastership of M∴W∴ Owen E. Hodgson, made a motion to allow the MW Grand Lodge of AF&AM of Kansas to form a Masonic Foundation. The motion was passed without opposition. The Kansas Masonic Foundation became a reality with its chartering and incorporation on July 15, 1966 under the direction of M∴W∴ William E. Montgomery. Since that time the Kansas Masonic fraternity’s Foundation has grown in great proportions. Kansas Masons, through the Kansas Masonic Foundation, have supported many worthwhile charitable endeavors over the years. The Foundation is governed by a board of fifteen Trustees. The Trustees are appointed by the Board of Trustees for staggered three-year terms. The Trustees meet, as required by the Foundation’s constitution. The Annual Meetings are held each March prior to the MW Grand Lodge of AF&AM of Kansas session. From its members, the Board of Trustees elects a president, executive vice-president, vice-president and secretary/treasurer for one year terms. The president also appoints Associate Trustees to serve on various Committees.
