Community Foundation of Ellis

As we approach the end of the year, many individuals are continuing their efforts of gifting local charities or organizations that are dear to their hearts. The Community Foundation of Ellis would like to encourage individuals to invest in their community also.

During the month of November, the foundation started their first annual Campaign-“Giving Back to Ellis,” designed to invest in Ellis and its future.

As we reflect on all the ways we are thankful for the community we love and enjoy, the end of the year also brings with it an opportunity for each of us to be part of our continuing effort to enhance the quality of life for all who live in Ellis.

By giving to the foundation, you are able to make a tax-deductible donation that will provide for local grants, Food Boxes and pantry, and other projects and improvements around Ellis. Because of your support and the support of the community, the Foundation has distributed over $187,000 to Ellis over the past several years enriching our community. One hundred percent of all donations stay in Ellis. There are no administration fees.

In November, each Ellis resident received through the mail the Foundation’s Giving Form. The Foundation depends on the generosity of our community. Please show your support through a cash gift or through a non-cash charitable gift. Donate now before the end of the year and your donation can be directed now or at a later date. Please join your neighbors and invest in Ellis and its future.

To donate or obtain a giving form, stop by 820 Washington, P.O. Box 181, Ellis, call (785) 726-2660, or visit the foundation website at www.ellisfoundation.net.
