Phyllis’ Bio

Phyllis Hardwick is the Executive Director of Community Capital Fund (CCF), a Community Development Nonprofit that provides grants, technical assistance, and coaching to support under-resourced neighborhoods and businesses in the Greater Kansas City Metropolitan Area. A graduate from the University of Missouri, Phyllis began her career in education. She taught in Kansas City Public Schools before working at a local non-profit that recruited, trained, and supported teachers who worked in high- needs schools.

Shortly after her work in education, Phyllis transitioned into the private sector. At EPR Properties, a Kansas City real estate investment company, she gained experience in finance and real estate development, while completing her master’s in educational studies. She has remained engaged in civic service by serving on her neighborhood association, non-profit and education boards. In her spare time, Phyllis enjoys running, reading, and cheering on her beloved sports teams. Most importantly, she loves being a mom to her three kiddos and her husband is great too.
