At Kevin McManus Law, making a positive impact goes beyond the courtroom. This belief led to the creation of the KML Charitable Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on giving back to the community through education, advocacy, and hands-on service.
Founded by attorney Kevin McManus and supported by our entire legal team, the Foundation is driven by a shared goal: to lift others and build a stronger future together. Whether it’s by supporting youth sports programs, offering college scholarships, or encouraging community involvement, we create real opportunities that can change lives.
Through every project and partnership, the KML Charitable Foundation helps the next generation grow, thrive, and reach their full potential. Giving back is part of who we are because when our community grows stronger, we all do.
Overcoming Adversity Through Sport Scholarship
One of our first initiatives is the Overcoming Adversity Through Sport Scholarship, a program supporting incoming and current undergraduate student-athletes who excel both academically and athletically. Applicants will share how lessons learned through sport helped them overcome adversity and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
“We’re honored to support this initiative through the KML Charitable Foundation,” said Kevin McManus, founder of Kevin McManus Law and a Foundation board member. “Education has the power to change lives, and we are committed to helping young people achieve their goals.”
This $2,000 scholarship is for student-athletes who have shown strength and resilience by overcoming challenges and staying focused on their education. Our scholarship committee will carefully review every application and give fair consideration to all applicants.
You can learn more about the scholarship and how to apply on our dedicated Overcoming Adversity Through Sport Scholarship page.
Community-Focused Initiatives
At the heart of the KML Charitable Foundation is a steadfast commitment to building a stronger, more connected community, one act of kindness at a time.
The Foundation is proud to champion a diverse range of community-focused initiatives that touch lives. With every initiative, we are planting seeds of hope we believe will bloom for generations to come.
Youth Sports Programs
Every young person deserves the chance to thrive. We’re investing in youth sports programs that promote physical health and also teach teamwork, discipline, and resilience. These qualities serve young people far beyond the field. These programs provide safe, supportive environments where kids can grow, lead, and dream big.
Pet Adoption Events
We also recognize the powerful bond between humans and animals, and we’re excited to host and support pet adoption events that help our furry friends find loving, forever homes. Each pet adoption is a new beginning filled with love and companionship.
100% of Proceeds Go to the Cause
Every dollar makes a difference, and with the KML Charitable Foundation, every dollar goes exactly where it’s needed most. Thanks to the generosity of our donors and supporters, 100% of all proceeds go directly to the programs and initiatives that help our community thrive.
There are no overhead costs, no administrative fees, just pure impact. Whether it’s funding scholarships for students, supporting youth sports, or helping rescue pets find loving homes, your support directly fuels the work that changes lives.
We believe in complete transparency. When you give, you’re creating opportunity, spreading hope, and becoming part of something bigger than yourself.
