The Bomhoff Foundation concentrates its philanthropy on Wichita-area human services and community resilience, favoring unrestricted general operating support to local nonprofits. Its funding repeatedly supports emergency response and disaster relief, child- and family-focused services (including disability therapy and child welfare), faith-based social ministries, and occasional local cultural institutions. Grants are sizable and often repeated to the same organizations, indicating long-term partnerships rather than one-off gifts.
Bomhoff Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by repeated general-fund support to Wichita nonprofits serving children, families, emergency response, and community care. In 2025, it awarded $208,000 each to Wichita Childrens Home, Salvation Army, American Red Cross of Kansas, Heartspring, and Emberhope Inc., showing a portfolio built around core local institutions rather than isolated project grants. The foundation also backed Humankind Ministries with a $200,000 general-fund grant, and continued support for organizations working in child welfare, disability services, and social ministries across Wichita. The pattern is not limited to one type of service provider. Grants also reached Senior Services of Wichita for Meals on Wheels, Trinity Academy, Botanica the Wichita Gardens, Kansas Aviation Museum, United Way of the Plains, Lord's Diner, and Kansas Food Bank Warehouse. Several grantees appear in multiple years, including Heartspring, Salvation Army, American Red Cross of Kansas, Emberhope Inc., Humankind Ministries, Wichita Childrens Home, Trinity Academy, Botanica the Wichita Gardens, Kansas Aviation Museum, Senior Services of Wichita, and Lord's Diner. That repeat funding, together with the use of general operating support, points to long-term local partnerships.
A clear share of Bomhoff Foundation’s grants supports child welfare and residential care. Wichita Childrens Home received $208,000 in 2025 and $117,000 in 2023, with another $71,500 in 2024, all as general-fund support. Heartspring also appears as a recurring recipient, with $208,000 in 2025, $178,500 in 2024, and $117,000 in 2023. Another strong theme is emergency response and social relief. The foundation gave Salvation Army $208,000 in 2025 and $178,500 in 2024, while American Red Cross of Kansas received $208,000 in 2025 and $143,000 in 2024. Food access shows up through Lord's Diner, which received $40,000 in 2023 and $23,000 in 2024, and Kansas Food Bank Warehouse, which received $40,000 in 2023. Senior Services of Wichita also received Meals on Wheels support in 2025 and 2024.
Grant size is substantial and clustered around mid-five and low-six figures: p25 is $10,000, median grant size is $50,000, and p75 is $117,000. The recent record shows repeated support to the same Wichita organizations across 2023, 2024, and 2025, suggesting an ongoing portfolio rather than one-time awards. The foundation gives through general fund support in many cases, with some program-specific grants such as Meals on Wheels. It funds organizations, not individuals.
