“Our foundation board members possess a tremendous amount of business and financial leadership experience,” said Ken Oliver, KWUF administrator and the university’s vice president for Advancement, Admissions and Marketing. “Their wisdom and insight has made it possible to grow the university’s endowment significantly, to its highest point ever, and therefore support the mission of Kansas Wesleyan. We are fortunate to benefit from this group of dedicated and passionate board members.”

The Kansas Wesleyan Foundation was established to be an auxiliary association for the financial aid and assistance of Kansas Wesleyan University. It operates an endowment of nearly $40 million.
