The Cause
KC Cause was created by a group of Kansas City young professionals who wanted to
create a way for area residents to support causes that specifically benefit Kansas City.
We assist local nonprofit organizations by supporting specific projects, and providing
assistance to arrange their own fund-raising efforts. Organizations supported include the
Sunflower House, HALO Foundation, American Red Cross, and Special Olympics.
In addition to our contributions to groups such as these, we provide direct financial
assistance to local individuals experiencing unexpected financial hardships. We also
encourage young people to discover the spirit of giving, by offering scholarships to
area high school students exhibiting a spirit of volunteerism.

Testimonials
Rebecca Welsh, founder of the HALO Foundation
"Support from KC Cause has enabled The HALO Foundation to provide programs for children in
desperate situations both in Kansas City and around the world. It is our mission to give
each HALO supported child basic needs, art therapy, and educational opportunities to enhance
their future. KC Cause has given HALO the ability to grow, and their investment in the future
of the world is making a difference."
Cynthia L. Smith, president and CEO of the Sunflower House
"The thing I like about KC Cause is that they are creative in their fund-raising strategies and
their giving philosophy. They enjoy raising money, engaging their friends and making a difference
in the community. They are not just a funding source but provide advice and strategies for our
organization that have made a big difference for Sunflower House."
Jason Williby, executive director/CEO of the American Red Cross
"KC Cause has been a wonderful partner of the local American Red Cross. The funding and exposure
they have provided our organization has allowed us to continue to assist families when they lose
their home to fire, teach CPR and first aid to daycare providers and young parents, assist active
duty military families with emergency messages and teach children about storm safety. KC Cause is
a wonderful asset to the philanthropic community."
Captain John Cosgrove, Kansas City Kansas Police Department and Jana Fornelli, vice
president of the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Kansas Special Olympics
"KC Cause has proven to be a great partner and supporter of local law enforcement agencies
and Special Olympics through their generosity and support of the Kansas Special Olympics Law
Enforcement Torch Run. Their support has been provided not only in monetary ways but also
through volunteerism by active members of KC Cause."
