Ways to Give

As a 501(c) non-profit, we work hard to find ways to fund our work. However, we take great pride in the fact that we are a non-government public advocate for the Kansas River.  This means that our funding is entirely independent. We do occasionally receive grants for specific projects, however the bulk of our funding comes from our members, donors, and our fundraising events such as Beers of the Kaw and the Wild & Scenic Film Festival.

There are many ways that you can donate to our efforts. We are so grateful to whatever gift you can give, whether it is making a cash donation, or giving the gift of your time as a volunteer, or including us in your legacy planning. Each and every gift is valuable. Here are the ways in which you can give to Friends of the Kaw:

Employee Gift Matching Programs

Did you know many companies offer matching gift programs? These programs match charitable donations made by employees — and sometimes even by retirees and spouses. Participating can be as easy as filling out a form with your employer’s Human Resources department.

You might need to provide Friends of the Kaw’s Tax ID #: 74-2878023.
