Kansas Association of Family and
Consumer Sciences Foundation
Incorporated April 3, 1987

Since 1987 the KAFCS Foundation has been an integral part of our association. The Foundation was created through the vision and hard work of many of our members and it has developed and grown through the ongoing support of KAFCS members who have generously shared their time, talents, and money.

The purpose of the Foundation is to support the mission and leadership goals of KAFCS. The KAFCS Foundation provides funds annually for many activities of the association including the following:

• Yearly awards and recognition presented to individuals by the Association. This includes the plaques as well as monetary awards and assistance for our Teacher of the Year to compete for the national Teacher of the Year award.
• A scholarship for our outstanding high school student and a scholarship for a community college student transferring to a Kansas four-year college with a FACS major.
• Stipends for students and first-time professionals to attend AAFCS meetings. In addition some support has been given to KAFCS members to attend other national conferences so that they could bring the important information back to our membership.
