About KDIKares

Outreach Fund

The objectives of the Fund shall be raising monies for the purpose of supporting the growth and development of non-profit organizations within our surrounding communities and enhancing community awareness of the needs of these organizations. We are dedicated to meeting the growing needs of individuals who, for a variety of reasons, have found themselves without the basic necessities of life. These organizations receive little or no government funding and must be supported by caring individuals, businesses and civic groups who see the value of sharing their resources with the less fortunate.

Benevolent Fund

The objectives of the Fund shall be raising monies for the purpose of giving assistance, both in gifts and financial, to individuals who find themselves in difficulties as a result of life alternating events such as a sudden illness, an accident, a death in the family, or a natural disaster. The fund may assist with medical expenses, funeral expenses, payment of housing costs, or property alterations for the disabled.

Any request for financial assistance has to be carefully considered and can only be made in relatively small amounts. Despite living in a prosperous society we encounter many tragic cases where the combination of bad luck, bad health, and bad judgment combine to produce real hardship for individuals and their families. The Fund is uniquely placed to intervene quickly and effectively and make that crucial difference.

Scholarship Fund

The objectives of the Fund shall be raising monies for the purpose of assisting graduating high school seniors who are the first of their siblings, parents and grandparents to enroll in a full-time undergraduate course of study at a vocational/technical school, or a two or four year college or university.

The Fund will award numerous one-time and renewable monetary scholarships. Scholarships are awarded without regard to race, color, creed, religion, gender, disability, or national origin. Recipients are selected on the basis of financial need, past academic record and future potential, work experience, and a statement of career and educational goals.

We accomplish our mission by fostering and improving educational opportunities, career development, and life skills for at-risk youth. Click here for Scholarship Information
