In the spirit of its benefactor, Dr. William M. King (1927–2007), The William M. King Charitable Foundation supports organizations, programs, and causes that seek to enrich the quality of life for African Americans and other underserved audiences. Established in Pennsylvania in 1994, the Foundation is especially interested in organizations and programs that promote meaningful social change through education — both formal and informal — and that offer opportunities for learning through arts and cultural experiences. The Foundation supports the initiatives of both well-established and grass roots organizations, with a special focus on Philadelphia-based institutions.
