The Kannapolis Education Foundation was established in 1994 as an independent non-profit organization. Since it was founded, it has donated approximately $750,000 to Kannapolis City Schools. The KEF has provided advanced science equipment, computers, books, software, and other classroom materials to teachers and students in Kannapolis City Schools. Its contributions include biotechnology equipment for the A.L. Brown STEM Academy (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) as well as computers, software, and library materials to all Kannapolis City Schools. The Kannapolis Education Foundation is incorporated as a non-profit corporation and recognized as a tax-exempt charitable organization under Section 501(C)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Goal
The goal of foundation is to provide educational resources to the students and teachers of Kannapolis City Schools. Currently, we are focusing on providing additional technology and advanced science equipment to help KCS students prepare for successful careers. We hope people will see the foundation as a way to remember their school or a favorite teacher in a very special manner. Reunion classes may want to contribute to the foundation as a memorial to deceased class members or teachers. Donations may be earmarked for certain purposes or for general support of the schools.
Mission
The mission of the Kannapolis Education Foundation is to enhance the quality of education for the community's most valuable and worthy asset: our children. The foundation is a non-profit organization created to enhance the quality of public education and increase public confidence in our schools. To this end, the Kannapolis Education Foundation will secure and distribute resources for projects to broaden and strengthen the educational experiences of the children in Kannapolis.
