Emporia Community Foundation

Our Mission:

To improve the quality of life in the Emporia area. This area consists of Lyon County and the six counties contiguous to Lyon County: Chase, Morris, Greenwood, Coffey, Osage and Wabaunsee.

The Emporia Community Foundation (ECF) is a collection of separate funds and resources given by caring citizens who have chosen to make their community a better place to work and live, now and in the future.

ECF represents the Kansas counties of Lyon, Chase, Greenwood, Morris, Osage, Coffey and Wabaunsee.

There are four main areas of ECF (see Types of Funds) all controlled by a general membership (see Our People). This membership is made up of caring individuals from the general area. Their sole purpose is to make the "community" a better place for perpetuity.
