(Refreshments at 6:30 p.m. – Program begins at 7 p.m.) “We are pleased to announce that we will be awarding more than $100,000.00 in scholarships in 2018,” said Marsha Pope, Topeka Community Foundation President. “While a number of scholarships are awarded to students pursuing their education in a specific field of study, many others provide general financial assistance to the recipients. The reception is a great opportunity not only to recognize outstanding students in our community – but to connect our scholarship donors with the recipients.”

The Foundation, with more than $70 million in assets, manages more than 395 separate funds, including scholarship funds, for individuals, businesses and charitable organizations.

The mission of the Topeka Community Foundation is to connect donors with their interests and community needs, increase charitable giving in the community, provide leadership on key community issues and ensure stewardship and accountability for effective community investment of donor dollars.
