Supporting Our Communities

Dedicated to building stronger communities

The Kemper Foundation’s mission is to serve, support and strengthen our communities to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. Through a collaborative approach with nonprofit community partners, we strive to give all people the power to achieve their aspirations in three areas of focus: education, health and community development.

Education 

We provide access to education to inspire and empower people of all ages to achieve their full potential. We focus on providing financial support to the next generation of business leaders through our Kemper Scholars Program. We also offer programs that endorse the distinct educational, social, and financial benefits of bilingualism in Latino families.

Health

We support nonprofits that can make an impact on the nation’s most widespread diseases, including those organizations that are finding ways to accelerate research, address patient and caregiver needs, and advance medical and disease education.
