About Us
Our history
Our mission is to support organizations conducting philanthropic or charitable purposes for the greater good of our communities.
Credit unions are founded on the cooperative principle of people helping people and joining together for the mutual benefit of our members. The Topeka Credit Union Foundation (TCUF) takes that principle beyond the individual credit unions by joining together to serve the community.
The Topeka Credit Union Foundation was formed in 2004 by a group of local credit unions working together to raise funds and donate to community organizations. Since then, TCUF has contributed more than $480,000 to local non-profit organizations. Through the contributions of the individual credit unions, the generosity and fund-raising efforts of the credit union employees, that fund continues to increase each year.
