OVERVIEW: The Capitol Federal Foundation funds community development and housing initiatives in communities where the bank operates.
IP TAKE: This is a small funder that generally conducts philanthropy in Kansas, where the bank is headquartered.
PROFILE: The Capitol Federal Foundation is the charitable branch of Capitol Federal Savings Bank, a federally chartered savings bank with branches in seven cities in Kansas and Missouri. The bank’s foundation is “committed to improving the quality of life in these communities by investing in the citizens of today and tomorrow.” While the bank’s primary philanthropic focus is education, it also funds work in community development and housing.
Outside of its scholarship program, Capitol Federal offers very little information about its grantmaking habits. Grantseekers interested in community development or housing grants may contact the foundation at foundation@capfed.com to request information.
Note that Capitol Federal strongly prioritizes community organizations located or operating in Kansas and parts of Missouri.
