The Kappa Foundation of Fort Washington, Inc. (KFFW) was incorporated in the State of Maryland on April 5, 2012. We are an unpaid group of volunteers dedicated to changing the lives of our area youth. We are a public 501 c-3 Charitable Organization.

Created under the guidance of our 1st President and Chairman, David McElveen.  Our Foundation was created on the premise derived from Luke 12:48 “To whom much is given, much will be required”. If we have been blessed with talents, wealth, knowledge, time and the like, it is expected that we benefit others.

The primary mission of KFFW is to provide scholarships and other support for minority male high school and college students. KFFW has awarded over $70,000 in scholarships to local high school and college students. In 2022, KFFW awarded over $17,000 in academic scholarships and grants to high school and college students. In 2021, we participated in a pilot program with Prince George’s Community College where we sponsored a scholarship for a KFFW Scholar, which covered the tuition for the full 2021 – 2022 academic year as part of the Diverse Male Student Initiative (DMSI) program.

The Founding Board Members were: Arthur R. Bryant, David P. Baker, Dr. David J. Billings, Vincent A. Davis, Charles A. Gilbert, Michael J. Hancock, David McElveen, Samuel Terry, & Victor Watson.
