Investment Program

The Topeka Community Foundation takes seriously its stewardship responsibility as a manager of many different donor funds. It recognizes that each donation, no matter the size, reflects an implicit trust in the Community Foundation's ability to invest resources wisely in accordance with each donor's charitable wishes.

Primary responsibility for managing the Topeka Community Foundation's investment portfolios has been delegated by the Board of Directors to the Asset Management Committee. This committee sets policy, establishes performance benchmarks and continually monitors the performance of the Community Foundation's portfolios against these policies and benchmarks.

The Foundation offers its donors three investment options: the Growth Portfolio, the Income Portfolio or donors may choose to have their fund invested by their professional advisor. Click here to learn more about the Foundation’s investment program.
