Whether you are an individual, nonprofit organization, corporation or group of individuals, there is a fund that can meet your philanthropic needs. Each fund with the Wichita Community Foundation is customized according to the wishes of our donors.

The Wichita Community Foundation currently holds assets of $61.4 million and the trust of over 250 donors who have each created funds tailored to their specific interests.

The following are the types of funds we offer.

Donor-advised – The donor actively participates in grantmaking by suggesting recipients for the monies distributed from the fund.

Unrestricted – The earnings from unrestricted funds are used by the Foundation for innovative programs designed to meet many significant needs and opportunities in our community.

Field of Interest – The donor specifies an area of interest, such as education, the arts, human services or the environment, to receive the earnings from the fund.

Designated – At the time the fund is established, donor specifies a specific charitable organization to receive the earnings from the fund.

Agency – The donor of this fund is a nonprofit organization. The endowed funds are placed with the Foundation for management and investment purposes. The Foundation regularly distributes the annual income back to the agency.

Scholarship – The donor or donors endow a fund and establish certain criteria for recipients of a scholarship. Scholarship funds are often established in honor or memory of an individual or group.

Family Foundation – Similar to a donor advised fund, the donor family may suggest grant recipients and be involved in grantmaking without the legal and administrative burdens of a private foundation.
