Our History
The Kansas City Kansas School Foundation For Excellence was established in 1990 with an annual fundraiser of our KCK Golf Tournament. The Foundation was formed to provide 12 three thousand dollar scholarships for students in the Kansas City Kansas Public School District. Today, our nonprofit organization continues to grow beyond a golf tournament but hopes to direct funds and services from individuals, businesses, corporations, memorials and other nonprofit organizations to programs and projects where educational funding is not available.
We rely on donations and sponsorships to meet the basic needs of our scholarships, to provide annual competitive grant awards to staff and to fund numerous other Foundation projects.
