Stewardship

The Arts and Recreation Foundation of Overland Park adheres to the Standards for Charity Accountability of the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance.

Donor Edge

The Foundation and the Friends groups participate in the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation DonorEdge® initiative that collects objective information about targeted nonprofit organizations and makes it available online at www.donoredge.org. DonorEdge® helps anyone connect quickly and easily with the charitable causes important to them. The information displayed on each organization's online profile falls into three major categories: program performance, management and governance, and financial soundness.

The Foundation accepts unrestricted, temporarily restricted and permanently restricted gifts according to its Gift Acceptance Policy. (download pdf)
