The Kansas BPW Educational Foundation, Inc., was established in June of 1987 by action of the Kansas Federation of Business and Professional Women. The Kansas BPW Foundation is incorporated as a non-profit, tax-exempt corporation under the code of the state of Kansas and Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954. The purposes for which the Foundation was formed are charitable and educational, including supporting education by awarding individuals scholarships or loans to advance their educational goals.

The members of the Foundation consist of all members in good standing of the Kansas Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs (BPW/Kansas). An annual meeting of the members is held each year, usually in conjunction with the State Convention of BPW/Kansas. The purpose of the annual meeting of members is to elect Directors and to transact any other business, if any, as may properly come before the members.
