The Topeka Rotary Foundation (TRF) was established by Rotary Club of Topeka for the purpose of encouraging and promoting charitable, benevolent and educational activities and projects in the city of Topeka and Shawnee County.

The TRF historically supported an array of organizations with smaller grants.  The TRF is changing focus to support one grantee with $20,000 in the first year, with the intention to establish a multi-year collaboration.  At the same time, the Foundation and The Rotary Club of Topeka are planning a signature annual fund-raising event to provide increased financial support for the grantee during the period of partnership with the organization.  In addition to providing financial support, the Rotary Club of Topeka will provide volunteers to the grantee as part of the Club’s engagement.  Applications must be submitted electronically no later than March 18, 2016.
