2026 Founding Year Report
A transparent account of our founding year — the mission launched, the infrastructure built, the families served, and the financial foundation we are laying for the children who need it most.
KIDS Future Fund was founded on the belief that every child deserves a financial head start — and that the children of those who served our country should be first in line to receive one.
To Our Donors, Partners,
and the Families We Serve
When I founded KIDS Future Fund, I was driven by a simple but powerful idea: the greatest financial gift you can give a child is time. Not a toy. Not a savings bond they'll cash out in five years. Time — measured in decades of compound growth beginning as early as possible.
This founding year has been about building the infrastructure to make that idea real. We have established our nonprofit status, built our enrollment process, launched our transparency framework, and begun putting systems in place to ensure that every donated dollar reaches its intended destination — a child's investment account — with full accountability.
Our focus on the children of fallen service members and disabled veterans is not incidental. It is the core of who we are. These families have given everything. The least we can do is ensure their children begin adulthood with something real to build on — an investment account, a financial education, and the ownership mindset that most of America never gets.
This report is our commitment to transparency. It documents where we stand today, how every dollar has been directed, what programs we have launched, and what we intend to accomplish in the year ahead. We will not ask for your trust without earning it — and this report is one small step in that ongoing process.
Thank you for believing in children's financial futures. The work is just beginning.

The Children of Those Who Served
Will Always Come First
KIDS Future Fund was founded with an explicit priority: children of fallen service members and service-disabled veterans are enrolled and funded before general applicants. This is not a program add-on. It is codified in our bylaws, enforced in every enrollment cycle, and the moral center of everything we do. Their parents gave everything. We will make sure their children start adulthood with something.
