Who We Are
A Community Foundation
Rooted in Kent
The Kent Schools Foundation serves as the bridge between our community's generosity and our students' potential. We bring together diverse voices, local businesses, and passionate neighbors to fund innovative learning opportunities that go beyond the standard curriculum.
As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (Federal Tax ID 46-1866001), we are committed to ensuring that every contribution stays local, directly fueling the success of students and educators across the Kent School District.
Founded in 2012, we have grown into a trusted partner of the Kent School District, local businesses, and thousands of families — united by the belief that a child's future should never be defined by their zip code or background.
How We Serve
Three Pillars of Impact
Everything we do flows through three core areas — each designed to create lasting change for students, educators, and the broader Kent community.
Our Difference
What Sets Us Apart
Hundreds of foundations exist — but KSF is uniquely Kent. Here is what defines our work and keeps us accountable to the students and families we serve.
Mission-Driven
Every decision we make is guided by one question: does this help break down barriers for learners in the Kent School District? We never lose sight of our purpose.
Dedicated Leadership
Our board and team are passionate advocates who give their time, expertise, and heart. Every single decision puts students first — no exceptions.
Strong Partnerships
We collaborate with local businesses, community organizations, and individual partners who share our belief that every child deserves a great education.
Community Engagement
Through grants, scholarships, community events, and volunteer opportunities, we keep the entire Kent community connected to the mission of public education.
