Cindy Hart

In her role as the senior vice president of development, Cindy connects donors with their philanthropic priorities and secures funds to support a statewide effort of growing future leaders through 4-H. Cindy has spent over two decades working in development as both a consultant and fundraising leader in the arts, healthcare, and not-for-profit housing on university campuses. She joined the Foundation staff in 2024. She is a proud Cloud County 4-H alum and summers at Rock Springs Ranch are still some of her favorite memories. To this day, she references recipes learned from cooking projects, particularly the International Foods curriculum. She graduated from Washburn University. As a mom of three active kids (none who are currently driving,) this stage of life seems to involve lots of driving and supporting them in their endeavors - but she loves every minute! When time allows, Cindy enjoys photographing Kansas, baking, raising chickens, and traveling with friends. To Cindy, philanthropy is an investment in the future and a commitment to making a positive difference in the world.
