Real community change requires the collective focus and partnership of people, activities and resources. The Wichita Foundation spearheads this collaboration, powering our community to lean into and solve the most critical challenges of today, and those on the horizon.
With the Fund for Wichita, we’re able to activate long-term initiatives in response to pressing — and often changing — charitable needs in our area.
The Wichita Beacon
We believe local news access is critical to a healthy democracy. As a result, the News and Information Fund at WF committed a record $1.1 million to launch a regional nonprofit news network, which includes a hyperlocal newsroom in Wichita.
