HARPER COUNTY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
HARPER COUNTY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION (Kansas) receives grants from 2 organizations whose IRS filings report $95,000 to it, the largest being THE PATTERSON FAMILY FOUNDATION ($75,000). 1 of them have funded it in more than one year. HARPER COUNTY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION administers funds for other donors, so those contributions arrive into funds it holds rather than supporting a program it runs itself.
Hosts funds for others
HARPER COUNTY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION administers funds on behalf of other donors. The grants recorded as coming in are contributions into those funds, so they count custody rather than support for a programHARPER COUNTY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION runs itself. This page therefore states the flows and does not draw the comparisons it would draw for an operating charity: concentration, funder retention, grant dependency and the peer field are all left out, because each of them would read a vehicle as if it were a program.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 43% · 2018 37% · 2019 35% · 2020 72% · 2021 43% · 2022 74% · 2023 24% · 2024 40% · 2025 29%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
