About us
The KFC® family has a rich history of generosity inspired by Colonel Harland Sanders himself. It started with a hitchhiker who happened to be a college student. The Colonel gave him a ride and a full scholarship. That act of kindness inspired the KFC Foundation, which has since provided $31 million to more than 9,300 students and KFC restaurant employees across the United States, assisting them in going to college, earning a GED, making it through a hardship/crisis situations and giving back to their communities in a big way.
