For many years, the Burich Foundation and I.J. Burich Family Foundation have been very active in supporting community projects. Each year, the foundations donate over $50,000 to worthy causes around the Hutchinson area.
I.J. Burich Family Foundation Mission Statement
The I. J. Burich Family Foundation is committed to making grants to qualified non-profit organizations within the City of Hutchinson and the County of McLeod that help to enhance and improve the quality of life.
Our preferred focus is on children, the elderly and other at-risk populations by providing grants for education, the arts, historic preservation and public service.
Where appropriate, the Foundation will be an active participant with others in grant making programs and will be proactive in addressing issues as well as responsive to applications for grants.
