Making a difference for families in need
The SFM Foundation / Kids’ Chance is a nonprofit that helps families affected by workplace injuries by providing scholarships to children of workers disabled or killed in work-related accidents.
The financial burden of putting a student through college is real. Add a catastrophic injury into the mix and affording college is an even bigger challenge.
We help education be more affordable for these students and their families by offering multi-year post-secondary scholarships.
