Our Mission
The NKC Family Foundation was created to responsibly use the wealth that God has generously given to us. We aim to assist people in challenging circumstances and encourage personal growth in Jesus Christ and relationships with others through our wonderful partners.
The foundation team aims to primarily benefit our neighbors in the Fox Valley Area in Illinois through strategic partnerships with key organizations. We believe that the foundation team has been blessed to be good stewards of the wealth that God has so generously blessed us with and we strive to bring honor to Christ’s name in all we do.
Giving Areas
Christ Community & Gospel Development
We want to engage, grow, and develop our Christian community through evangelism, discipleship, education, and service. The importance of a Christ-centered community cannot be understated for all people, but especially our most vulnerable populations.
Hands & Feet
of Christ
We want to bring Jesus Christ’s hope and love to those in need in our community through gospel-focused human services to alleviate homelessness, substance abuse, food insecurity, foster care, legal aid, poverty, and more. To the foundation team, these are nonprofits that offer a ‘hand up’ over a hand out and have a track record of sustainable growth and development for their clients.
The Great Commission
Jesus has called us to bring the Gospel to the ends of the earth. The foundation team aims to do this through the development of Christian faith through church, leader, and personal development. We seek to partner with organizations that bring the Gospel to everyone, throughout the earth.
Healthcare & Christian Services
for People with Disabilities
The foundation acknowledges and seeks to improve the lives of families and individuals affected by disabilities through the development of Christian faith for disabled communities while increasing access to “life improving” therapies, housing, counseling, retreats, and other such opportunities for poor and disabled populations.
