About the Kalas Foundation
United to Improve Lives
Created in 2009 through the combined efforts of the Kalas and WICU organizations; the Kalas Foundation was established to lend financial, emotional, and physical assistance to individuals and organizations in need within the communities where our associates live and work.
Disbursement Process
A disbursement team comprised of manufacturing and office associates from Kalas meets quarterly to review donation application requests for support. Each inquiry is evaluated upon the following criteria:
- Is an associate of Kalas impacted?
- Is the organization registered 501(c)(3)? Required
- Does the organization have a history of support from the Kalas Foundation?
- Is the organization/ need within Lancaster or Berks counties?
An executive council meets quarterly to review the actions of the disbursement committee, the financial contributions to increase its scope of reach, and ultimately, to ensure the core philosophy of the Kalas Foundation remains at the heart of its efforts; united to improve lives.
If interested, please complete a donation request form and mail it in. We will review your submissions at our next disbursement meeting.
