They can be big or small. Some are easier than others to accomplish. Oftentimes, we may not be sure where or how to start. THCF connects your dreams with the dreams of others to make a real difference in our communities. This past year was another stellar example of this. With the support of our donors, volunteers, Board and Advisory Boards, we grew our total assets by 19% and the overall THCF investment portfolio earned 17.5%, enabling us to fund thousands of dollars in grants and scholarships. Total grants from all funds, including donor advised funds, scholarships and our annual community grants process totaled $3.5 million. We are grateful for those who, through thoughtful planning, have made provisions in their estates to benefit the community. Thanks to 95 Heartland Legacy Society members who, through their estate plans, have left a lasting legacy of philanthropy that will benefit future generations. Last year, $174,320 was awarded from 88 scholarships to area students. Scholarships are available for community high school seniors, undergraduate students and graduate students pursuing a higher education degree, including technical schools. The annual grants process awards funds that donors have entrusted to the Board to administer.

    LINC Commission Meeting November 16, 2015 The One Sight ‘Vision Van’ provided free eye examinations and eyeglasses to students in need. Over 250 students in the Kansas City Public Schools, North Kansas City and Independence School Districts received vision services. One Sight is a worldwide organization that provides access to quality vision care. Local Investment Commission (LINC) Vision Our Shared Vision A caring community that builds on its strengths to provide meaningful opportunities for children, families and individuals to achieve self-sufficiency, attain their highest potential, and contribute to the public good. Our Mission To provide leadership and influence to engage the Kansas City Community in creating the best service delivery system to support and strengthen children, families and individuals, holding that system accountable, and changing public attitudes towards the system. Our Guiding Principles 1. COMPREHENSIVENESS: Provide ready access to a full array of effective services. 2. PREVENTION: Emphasize “front-end” services that enhance development and prevent problems, rather than “back-end” crisis intervention. 3. OUTCOMES: Measure system performance by improved outcomes for children and families, not simply by the number and kind of services delivered. 4. INTENSITY: Offering services to the needed degree and in the appropriate time. 5. PARTICIPANT INVOLVEMENT: Use the needs, concerns, and opinions of individuals who use the service delivery system to drive improvements in the operation of the system. 6. NEIGHBORHOODS: Decentralize services to the places where people live, wherever appropriate, and utilize services to strengthen neighborhood capacity. 7. FLEXIBILITY AND RESPONSIVENESS: Create a delivery system, including programs and reimbursement mechanisms, that are sufficiently flexible and adaptable to respond to the full spectrum of child, family and individual needs.
