Since 1983, the Topeka Community Foundation has worked to improve the quality of life in our region through an active partnership with donors and others who believe, as we do, that positive change occurs through effective charitable giving. Today, the Community Foundation manages more than 325 charitable funds established by individuals, families, and businesses and nonprofit organizations. Together, these funds represent ordinary people who have made extraordinary commitments to our community. The Topeka Community Foundation offers easy ways to help you make a significant difference with your giving. By partnering with the Community Foundation, donors receive the simplicity and tax advantages of a public charity combined with the personal recognition, involvement and flexibility of a private foundation. Donors also gain access to the highest level of strategic thinking on ways to meet community challenges. Community Foundation donors understand that Topeka is more than a place – it is home. With that recognition comes a deep sense of responsibility and a belief that each of us really can make a difference. Find out how you can make a difference with the Topeka Community Foundation.
