A foundation in Kansas has donated over $2.7 million to help ranchers affected by wildfires throughout the state.

The Kansas Livestock Foundation (KLF) distributed the funds to 165 Kansas ranchers who lost 365,000 acres and 4,500 head of livestock to wildfires in last March.

Representatives from the Kansas Livestock Association (KLA) reviewed applicants in order to determine how the funds were distributed.

The funds were donated by 3,900 individuals who live across the US and in Canada.

“The Kansas Livestock Foundation, which is the charitable arm of KLA, was proud to play a part in connecting many kind, giving people from across the country with Kansas ranchers in need of support,” said KLF Chairman Jaret Moyer.
