The CEF Board of Directors is a "working" board of professional men and women from the Kansas City metro area and the northeast Kansas community.
These men and women together with two full-time dedicated staff members are renowned for their compassion and enthusiasm for Catholic education and for equal academic opportunities for all children, regardless of financial circumstances. They are completely focused on the CEF mission of providing scholarship opportunities for children living in poverty within Kansas City and rural northeast Kansas.
Our Board is thoroughly committed to providing academic financial assistance to any child regardless of race, nationality, gender or creed.
