Dear Community Foundation Friends and Patrons:

2009 was another year of successful growth for both the Kansas Rural Communities Foundation and the Wamego Community Foundation. More than 30 new funds were established within both Foundations to further our mission of servicing the needs and visions of our communities, donors, and stakeholders.

This level of service could not have been possible without the KRCF and WCF part-nering to hire our first executive director, René Eichem, in March 2008. This con-tinued collaboration allows the Foundations to serve communities, both local and

throughout Kansas, with their philanthropic endeavors.

With continued growth and our commitment to high quality service to our communities comes increased finan-cial requirements. I encourage your continued support by contributing to our administrative fund or other funds whose purpose touches your heart. Maybe you want to establish a new endowment fund that will assist many future generations. Endowments are the perpetual contributors to our communities as their earnings are filtered back into our communities forever. It all starts by contacting the Foundations with your estate planning and philanthropic questions at (785) 456-8444 or wcf@wamego.net or krcf@wamego.net.

Under the direction of our executive director and both Board of Directors, the Foundations are positioned to prosper. Both Foundations’ commitment to serve our communities is our joining force. On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Wamego Community Foundation and the Kansas Rural Communities Foundation, as well as the many recipients of your generous contributions, I want to thank our generous donors who are the lifeblood of the Foundation. We appreciate the trust and support you provide. Without you, none of this would be pos-sible. Thank you for caring enough to give back to your communities!

Sincerely,

Douglas K. Springer, 2009 President(785) 456-2021dspringer@kvsb.net

Dear Friends and Supporters:

It is my hope that as you turn the pages of this annual report, you will get a glimpse of the stories, people, and places behind the pictures and names. Every fund tells a story of how someone cared for someone else or was passionate about a cause.

We dedicate this annual report to the generosity of our supporters who give of their time, talents, and financial resources. It takes all of these precious assets to ensure we can continue helping all the communities we serve to grow and thrive.

I joined the WCF and KRCF as their first-ever executive director in March 2008, and it has been exciting and rewarding, to say the least! Although the past year was fraught with uncertainties due to the economic downturn, it was also a year of milestones and achievements for the Foundations.

As I look back over our accomplishments, I am extremely pleased with our progress and deeply grateful for the support you have shown us and your causes. It’s hard to pick just one accomplishment that stands out the most, so I’ll highlight a couple:

• More than 30 new funds were established with the Foundations, both locally and statewide; from Admire to Woodbine we have been able to help communities and other nonprofit organizations grow and thrive.

• The Wamego Community Foundation was named “2009 Business of the Year” by the Wamego Chamber of Commerce for our philanthropic work in the community.

• The Foundations hosted the 10th annual scholarship awards banquet, and more than $30,000 in scholar- ships were awarded to area high school students.

• Together the foundations received more than $500,000 in grants for our funds and charitable causes, as well as individual donations ranging from a couple of dollars to several thousand dollars. Every gift, regardless of size, is important and the foundations provide a means for all gifts—both large and small— to make a difference.

From special projects to the grants and donations we receive and make to other charities and from park improve-ments to historical preservation to providing scholarships—your contributions make a difference. Together, we are truly engaged in connecting people who care with causes that matter.

With sincere gratitude for your continued support,

René Eichem, KRCF/WCF Executive Director

served as president of the Wamego Community Foundation from 1998, when it was founded, through 2003 and have remained on the WCF board as a community advisor ever since. Over the years I have seen the Foundation grow from one small charitable

fund to nearly 40 funds that provide scholarships to area students, grants for community projects, and contributions to many other worthwhile charitable causes. The WCF has provided a way for us to do many wonderful things in and for Wamego and surrounding communities, and I wanted to be able to provide some of those same opportunities and services to other rural communities in Kansas who didn’t have the tools or resources needed to establish their own community foundation. I helped establish the Kansas Rural Communities Foundation in 2006 and will serve as president in 2010. However, and more importantly, I believe in the adage that a board member should be willing to give their time, talents, and treasures to the foundation. As such, my wife, Deb, and I have pledged to support the Community Foundation by contributing $2,500 a year for the next six years. We believe in giving back to our community and the state we call home, and we want to help ensure the Community Foundation will continue providing services to all Kansans … now and forever. Sincerely,

Michael A. Rice Michael A. Rice Wamego, KS

“Put your money

Routh family motto

y husband, Doug, and I had often talked about estate planning, but we never seemed to find the time and kept putting it off. Like most people, we were busy. We were running two companies — R-Tech Tool & Machine Inc. in Wamego and Paxico

Antiques in Paxico—raising five kids and going to all their school activities, attending church, volunteering for various civic organizations, and everything else that keep all of us so busy. When we decided travel to Japan on vacation in 2008, we knew we couldn’t put it off any longer. Our entire family was getting on an airplane and traveling halfway around the world; it was time to make provisions in the event something happened to us. We met with our accountant and tax attorney and established a Trust that names our families, two of our favorite charitable organizations, and the Wamego Community Foundation as beneficiaries. Upon our death, the Doug and Rachelle Routh Community Endowment Fund will be established at the Community Foundation. The WCF Board of Directors, as trustees, will determine the areas of the greatest need in and for the Wamego community and will make disbursements from the income of our Endowment Fund each year. In December 2008, we also established two R-Tech Tool and Machine Scholarship Funds with the Foundation. Every year a student at Wabaunsee High School in Alma and a student at Wamego High School will receive a scholarship. We feel so good that we are able to help deserving students further their education in the field of metal fabrication. We have been truly blessed in so many ways, and we wanted to give something back to the communities where we live and work. Sincerely,

Rachelle Routh

P.S. I also joined the board of the Wamego Community Foundation in January 2009 as a community advisor because I see the great things they are doing for the community, and I wanted to be a part of it!
