Governance.

Governed by Physicians, for Kansans.

KOF is led by a board of practicing osteopathic physicians who understand the landscape of Kansas medicine — because they live it every day. Your gift is managed with professional oversight and medical integrity.

Tax-Deductible

KOF is a registered 501(c)(3). Every gift is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Stays in Kansas

Every dollar supports Kansas DOs, students, and the communities they serve.

Physician-Governed

Nine working osteopathic physicians make every funding decision.

Low Overhead

Lean operations mean donor dollars reach programs, not administration.

Impact in Kansas

"The KOF scholarship didn't just ease my debt — it gave me the confidence to choose rural primary care over a high-paying specialty."
