WRCF Community Grant Application

The Wichita Rotary Charitable Fund is excited to open the application process for our fall grants.

Fall 2025 Grants: Basic Human Needs - Food & Clothing

This grant category supports nonprofit organizations dedicated to meeting the most essential needs of individuals and families experiencing hardship or crisis. Funding is available for programs that provide direct services related to food security, access to appropriate clothing, and mobile services at work in the streets.

Eligible programs may include, but are not limited to:

Food pantries, meal distribution, or nutrition assistance
Clothing closets or seasonal clothing drives
Mobile outreach services meeting basic needs in underserved areas

If you have a need that falls into one of these 3 categories (Food security / Access to Clothing / Mobile Outreach), please submit an application and all required information using the form below.
