Ellinwood Rise Endowment

Ellinwood Rise Endowment supports outdoor beautification and restoration projects for residents within Ellinwood city limits.

We help neighbors restore yards, paint exteriors, clean up properties, and take pride in our community one project at a time. Ellinwood Rise Endowment is a community-driven initiative dedicated to enhancing the beauty, pride, and livability of Ellinwood. We support outdoor beautification, restoration, and clean-up projects for residents within Ellinwood city limits. Our mission is to remove barrie

rs for homeowners who want to improve their outdoor spaces but may lack the resources, materials, or support to get started. Through quarterly project funding, volunteer coordination, and strong partnerships with the Ellinwood Community Foundation, the City of Ellinwood, and local organizations, we help transform yards, paint exteriors, remove debris, repair fences, and breathe new life into properties across town. We believe that when one home rises, the whole community rises. Our work strengthens neighborhoods, builds pride, and creates a more welcoming Ellinwood for everyone. Residents can apply for assistance, volunteer, donate, or help spread the word—because every project makes a difference.

We would like to extend a HUGE thank you to our amazing board members — Audrey Lewis, Ashley Porter, Chance & Brittney Bailey — and their families, along with BJ Buehler and his family, for helping make the Ellinwood Rise City-Wide Clean Up project such a success!

Together, this group hauled off over 20 loads to the dumpsters 💪

This event was designed to support Ellinwood residents who may not have had a truck or the physical ability to haul items themselves — and because of these volunteers, we were able to step in and make a real difference.

This is what Ellinwood is all about… neighbors helping neighbors 🌱

Thank you all for your time, hard work, and dedication to keeping our community clean and beautiful!

A huge THANK YOU to the City of Ellinwood for providing dumpsters at no cost to our residents during the City-Wide Clean Up!

Because of your support, so many members of our community were able to properly dispose of unwanted items—helping us all work toward a cleaner, safer, and more beautiful Ellinwood.

This is what community partnership looks like
Working together to beautify our city, restore pride, and keep Ellinwood clean and tidy for everyone.

We appreciate your continued support in helping make projects like this possible! 💚🌱
