NSSRA Foundation Awarded $10,000 Grant from
Kenilworth United Fund
The Kenilworth United Fund (KUF) was founded in 1939 by civic-minded residents, and has remained a tradition every year since.
While not affiliated with the United Way, the KUF supports local and area non-profit organizations with services available to
Kenilworth residents in four areas: organized youth activities, senior citizens, families, and differently able people.
KUF’s generosity supports financial assistance for our participants in need. The Kenilworth community’s impact on our mission
and participants is awe-inspiring! Thank you, Kenilworth United Fund, for the generous gift of $10,000 to NSSRA Foundation! For
