KFF’s general approach to operations and funding:

KFF provides support in its Medical and Educational areas by funding existing organizations involved in work aligned with KFF’s mission and vision. KFF’s general approach is to solicit proposals from organizations it selects based on their specific activities, quality of work and need. The specifics of funding are addressed under each of these two areas.

In the Heritage and Human Energy areas, KFF’s vision is novel and pioneering and no known work aligned with its vision in these areas exist. Consequently, KFF’s approach is to undertake the creation of pilot projects to test the validity of the concepts and the feasibility of achieving its vision and goals. In this regard, KFF partners with organizations involved in the general areas of its vision to initiate such programs and pilot projects. KFF acts as a founder and incubator for such projects and programs and, once successful, helps in launching them to become independently operating nonprofit organizations. KFF’s programs and projects are further detailed under each of these two areas.
