WISTWIL is a nonprofit created by Topeka to support the 150+ person crew who bring our music weekends to life. Our onsite team serves with extraordinary care and heart, and Wistwil exists to care for them in return.
Most of our crew lives locally, with many working through real-life challenges as they build stability for themselves and their families. Wistwil—short for “Where I stay to where I live”—walks alongside our team by providing workforce development, legal support, and emergency assistance, including interest-free loans for reliable vehicles, medical needs, legal costs, and critical car repairs.
Funded through food and beverage sales, signed memorabilia, sponsorships, and donations, Wistwil has paid over $2 million in wages this year and provided $50,000 in interest-free loans. When you support Wistwil, you’re investing directly in the people behind the magic.
