Founding of Yvonne Kafka Christian Fund

The Yvonne Kafka Christian Fund, Inc. (YKCF) was founded in July 1997, in memory of Yvonne L. Kafka to continue her legacy of service to Christ. The Kafka family recognized that God was building a ministry in Yvonne from her wide range of experiences, gifts and talents and founded the YKCF with the dream of continuing this kind Christian work. Serving Christ with her whole life was Yvonne’s purpose up to the moment of her passing on July 27, 1996.

The YKCF exists as an endowed fund to support Christians preparing for, initiating, expanding or continuing Christian work. All scholarships and awards come from the income of the endowment.
