About King's Daughters and Sons Foundation of Kentucky

The King’s Daughters and Sons Foundation of Kentucky Inc. stands out for a grantmaking pattern that blends endowed scholarships with practical support for Kentucky nonprofits. Its active programs include scholarship endowments with the Kentucky Community and Technical College System Foundation and Berea College, alongside a general grant program that supports eligible organizations in Kentucky. Recent awards show that the foundation funds both education pipelines and direct-service needs: Kentucky Christian University received $46,250 for a nursing manikin, neonatal simulator package, monitor, and service plan, while Lexington Rescue Mission received $40,000 for an exhaust hood tied to a kitchen renovation. The same mix appears in health and human services, where Have a Heart Clinic Inc. received $40,000 for partial funding of an echocardiogram and Faith Community Pharmacy received $15,000 to provide prescriptions for people with chronic illnesses. The foundation also supports accessibility and workforce-related needs through grants for assistive technology, nursing scholarships, and allied health scholarships. Its overall approach is local, Kentucky-centered, and tied to established eligibility criteria rather than broad national giving.
