A Gift That Grows: Creating a Legacy for Kokomo’s Future

At the Kokomo Public Schools Education Foundation, we believe that a single person’s gratitude can fuel a student’s future for generations. Our foundation manages a portfolio of endowed and annual funds—each one a living tribute created by individuals who wanted to honor a mentor, a loved one, or a pivotal moment in their own lives.

Unlike traditional donations that meet a one-time need, an endowment is designed to last in perpetuity. It is a commitment to Kokomo’s students that doesn't just span a year or a decade, but continues forever.

The Power of Perpetual Giving

An endowment fund is a sophisticated financial tool designed for long-term impact. By investing the principal gift and allowing it to grow, we ensure that the original donation remains untouched. This fiscally disciplined approach allows the fund to generate a reliable stream of income year after year.

Whether the funds are designated for a specific purpose or left unrestricted to meet the district's most pressing needs, they provide a "forever" foundation for our schools.

Why Your Support Matters

By providing a permanent, predictable source of revenue, our endowments transform lives in tangible ways:

• Life-Changing Scholarships for graduating seniors.

• Innovative Teacher Grants that bring modern technology into the classroom.

• Critical Needs Support for students facing unexpected hardships.

• Special Initiatives that state funding alone cannot cover.

Create Your Own Chapter

A named endowment is more than a financial contribution; it is a way to ensure that the names and values you hold dear continue to make a difference in the halls of Kokomo Schools. Whether you are celebrating a family legacy or honoring a teacher who changed your trajectory, your gift provides the stability our students need to thrive.

Let’s build a legacy together. We invite you to reach out to our team to discuss establishing a new fund, or you may choose to make a gift to an existing fund at any time. We are here to help ensure your generosity makes the greatest possible impact.
