About Kevin & Brittany Kisner Foundation
A defining feature of the Kevin & Brittany Kisner Foundation is its large, repeated support for Children’s Hospital of Georgia in Augusta, including a $1.2 million grant in 2025 and another $1 million grant that same year. That pattern sits alongside a clear mission statement centered on helping children build solid foundations for successful lives. The foundation’s recent giving shows a focus on children’s health, early literacy, and structured youth opportunities, with grants often framed as general support for community organizations and program support for initiatives tied to education, health, and sports. Its work is closely tied to child and adolescent needs in the Central Savannah River Area. In the recent grants list, the foundation supported Children’s Place Inc in Aiken with both a $500,000 grant in 2025 and a $13,000 grant in 2023, while also backing Ferst Readers in Madison, Georgia, with $70,000 grants in both 2023 and 2025. Other recipients include local schools, youth sports organizations, and health-related nonprofits, showing a grantmaking approach that mixes major institutional support with smaller community grants.
What Kevin & Brittany Kisner Foundation Funds
Children’s health is a major thread in the foundation’s portfolio. The largest recent grant went to Children’s Hospital of Georgia for general support, and the foundation also backs a pediatric behavioral health and wellness program tied to the Medical College of Georgia Department of Psychiatry and Health Behavior. Early literacy is another clear area of support. The foundation gave Ferst Readers $70,000 in both 2023 and 2025, matching its Tee Up to Read work that delivers books and caregiver newsletters for young children. In youth development, sports, and recreation, the foundation funded Aiken Futbol Club with $18,000 in 2025 and North Augusta Cultural Arts Council with $10,000 in both 2023 and 2025. These grants fit its stated emphasis on organized, structured opportunities for children. Education-related support also appears through grants such as Augusta Heritage Academy and Apparo Academy, both of which received funding in multiple years.
How Kevin & Brittany Kisner Foundation Gives
Typical grant size falls in a fairly narrow band: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $13,500, and the 75th percentile is $25,000. The recent-grants list shows a small number of very large awards alongside many grants in the $10,000 to $25,000 range. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Children’s Hospital of Georgia, Ferst Readers, Augusta Heritage Academy, Apparo Academy, Children’s Place Inc, and North Augusta Cultural Arts Council, indicating recurring support rather than one-off gifts. The foundation is not a fund that gives to individuals, and its philosophy emphasizes general operating support, unrestricted funding, and core or organizational support. One of its active programs, Sports, Recreation & Fitness Grants, accepts unsolicited applications.
