A Tough Goodbye!

We gave it our best.

What made Project WeKan different from other popular crowdfunding websites??
Project WeKan was the ONLY NON-PROFIT fundraising website specifically for KANSAS only projects.

We were serving a really small, YET MIGHTY crowd, and we took GREAT JOY in serving you all!

Our Board Members and original team members of this project were massive Kansas fans, and believed in our mission!

The Kansas Sampler Foundation established Project WeKan, yet, we aren't done with our work. We have dedicated countless hours, miles logged to preserve and sustain rural culture in Kansas. Our mission continues. Check out more projects and ways you can help us by going to kansassampler.org

TOGETHER WE DID GREAT THINGS!
