The Heartland Community Foundation, which serves Ellis, Rooks and Trego Counties, has relocated to an office suite at the Chestnut Building in downtown Hays. The foundation joins two other nonprofits in the building, which is located at 1200 Main St.

Also relocating to the Chestnut Building is the Downtown Hays Development Corporation. “We welcome you to stop in and enjoy a cup of coffee while we show off our beautiful new space located right on the first floor,” said DHDC Executive Director Sara Bloom.

HCF was previously housed in the Hays Welcome Center, 2700 Vine. DHDC was located in the 100 block of West 12th, just a block west of its new locale.

“It is going to be a dynamic environment full of nonprofit synergy,” added HCF Executive Director Sandy Jacobs.

With assets totaling more than $3.1 million, the community foundation helps donors pursue their charitable interests and supports local organizations through its competitive grants program. During the 2018 fiscal year, HCF awarded $353,581 in competitive grants among the three counties in its service area. Applications for the upcoming fall grant cycle will open on September 15.
