Our Team

Board of Directors &
Leadership Team

KIDS Future Fund is governed by a dedicated leadership team committed to financial empowerment, nonprofit accountability, and long-term impact for children and families across America.

πŸ‘€
Founder & Executive Director
KIDS Future Fund
The founder of KIDS Future Fund launched the organization after witnessing firsthand how military service changes the course of a family's financial life. Injuries, long deployments, and the loss of a parent create challenges that extend far beyond the battlefield β€” and financial obstacles often appear precisely when children need a foundation most. That lived experience became the mission: ensure every child, especially those from military families, starts adulthood with investments already growing. The founder oversees all program operations, donor relations, strategic partnerships, and organizational growth.
