Kossuth County Community Foundation
The Kossuth County Community Foundation is committed to making good things happen in Kossuth County. The purpose of the Kossuth County Community Foundation is threefold:
- To provide services to donors with charitable intent, enabling them to give in planned, significant, and permanent ways;
- To manage the funds contributed with the goals of preserving them safely, ensuring their steady growth in the face of inflation, and generating income from them for distribution to charitable entities;
- To stimulate private philanthropy in the community. Through support of non-profit agencies (the “Third Sector”), the Kossuth County Community Foundation enhances the quality of life for all who live, work in, and love Kossuth County.
Mission
The mission of the Kossuth County Community Foundation is to:
- Respond to the current and future charitable needs of Kossuth County;
- Secure and serve as the custodian of endowment funds contributed by many donors; and
- Create other mechanisms which will channel charitable money, goods, and services to meet community needs.

We believe that we must protect, nurture, and nourish the uniqueness of Kossuth County – the diversity of its race and culture, the richness of its artistic expression and appreciation, and the beauty and quality of its natural resources – so that all may enjoy the quality of life both now, and in perpetuity.
We are committed to:
Human and community development
