Fund 316 and the Fund for Wichita work together to strengthen our community. One invests in the Wichita Foundation's ability to lead today, and the other builds a permanent resource for Wichita's future.
WF stewards two mission-driven community funds that power meaningful impact across our city:
Fund 316 fuels WF's ability to lead, convene, innovate, and respond to needs right now.
Fund for Wichita is our permanent endowment — a long-term, sustainable resource that strengthens Wichita for generations.
