About 3kgirls Foundation
The 3KGIRLS Foundation is a small, locally focused funder in Naperville that prioritizes unrestricted support for community institutions and education-related causes. Grants are concentrated on a few recurring recipients — notably a local memorial literacy fund tied to the Naperville Education Foundation and a nearby church — with occasional support for religious education (a seminary) and individual community members. Most awards are general operating or “unrestricted” gifts rather than program-restricted grants.
