What KK Foundation-KKF does

KK Foundation (KKF), formally the Kamrunnesa Khatun Foundation, is an independent nonprofit charity registered with the Bangladesh NGO Affairs Bureau (Registration No. 3199) and headquartered in Uttara, Dhaka. Founded in 2011 in commemoration of Ms. Kamrunnesa Khatun, the foundation serves underprivileged and disadvantaged populations across Bangladesh through approximately 20 programs organized under its SPEAK framework: Saving Lives, Poverty Alleviation, Empowerment, Climate Adaptation, and Knowledge-based Economic Growth. Core programs include Joy Shokol Shishur (a shelter home for 250 rescued children), Swanirbhor (interest-free Qard-e-Hasanah microfinance), Project U-Turn (rehabilitation for vulnerable women), Bagh Bidhoba (tiger widow support in the Sundarbans), Shufola (farmer livelihood support), Safe Motherhood, Mayeen (clean water), Najifa (special needs children), and various education, healthcare, and emergency response initiatives.

KKF operates a community-led, event-driven delivery model reaching beneficiaries across all 64 districts of Bangladesh, with notable national-scale impact such as 44,165 people served through Iftar/Sehri distribution in 2022. The foundation does not use proprietary technology platforms; instead, it leverages a standard website donation system (SSLCommerz payment gateway), mobile financial services (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay), and bank transfer infrastructure for fundraising. Operational partnerships include Gono Unnayan Songstha (GUS) as a local implementing partner, Victim Support Center for government coordination, and X Index Companies, PKSF, and others for corporate CSR funding.

The foundation's revenue model is entirely donation-based, relying on Zakat (obligatory almsgiving), Sadaqah (voluntary charity), Sadaqaye Jariyah, and Qard-e-Hasanah (interest-free loans) contributions from individuals and corporate partners. Donations start from BDT 50 and qualify for tax exemption under National Board of Revenue prescribed orders. KKF is governed by a Board led by Chairman Arch. Md. Mazherul Quader and Executive Director Sifat E Azam, with a lean staff of 14 employees supported by community volunteers and partner organizations.
