Unlocking Brighter Futures
for Every Student in Kent
At Kent Schools Foundation, we unite our community to provide essential resources, innovative programs, and lasting support that open doors for every student in the Kent School District.
Who We Are
A Foundation Built on
Community Trust
For over three decades, Kent Schools Foundation has united neighbors, educators, and businesses behind one shared belief — that every child in Kent deserves a great education.
Grants & Funding
Funding the Ideas
That Change Classrooms
From science labs to art projects, KSF grants transform teaching ideas into real student experiences. 100% of every grant dollar stays in Kent classrooms.
Stories of Success
Real Impact,
Real Students
Behind every grant and scholarship is a story of a student who discovered a passion, a teacher who brought an idea to life, or a family whose future changed forever.
“The KSF grant allowed my students to build their own weather stations. For the first time, science wasn't just a textbook — it was happening outside our window.”
Ms. Jennifer Park
4th Grade Science Teacher, Scenic Hill Elementary
“Without the KSF scholarship, attending college would have been impossible for my family. This foundation changed the entire trajectory of my life.”
Marcus Rivera
Class of 2024, Kent-Meridian High School
