About the Fund
The Gypsum Valley Community Foundation Fund was established to support local charitable community needs of Gypsum, KS, by a local group of volunteers who formed the Gypsum Valley Community Foundation. Their mission is to give back to the Gypsum community in order to preserve and grow it for this generation and for generations to come, giving those who grew up here a reason to stay and to inspire others to come to the Gypsum Valley community.
A local advisory board meets throughout the year to award grants to charitable community projects.
