The Sadie Jones Fund is dedicated to enhancing the well-being of children within Lyon and Chase counties. Initially focused on addressing vision and hearing needs of individual children, the fund has expanded its scope to support public health and safety projects benefiting this demographic.
The grant program, represented by the Emporia Community Foundation (ECF), is designed to support the diverse citizens and communities of Lyon and its six contiguous counties through charitable actions. It particularly focuses on enriching the community by providing funding for the care and comfort of old people, women, and children in Emporia and Lyon County, Kansas. The foundation offers various types of funds established by individuals, families, businesses, and nonprofit organizations aimed at meeting the community's needs and making it a better place for perpetuity.
