At the Kansas City, Kansas School Foundation, we believe that all students deserve an equal opportunity to reach their full potential. We strive to empower students to excel academically and develop strong character, aligning with our mission: To embrace, empower and assist the students of the Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools to excel. Founded in 1990, we've grown from a single scholarship golf tournament to a vital support system for KCKPS students.
