Kathleen Grayson Ahmad Foundation

It started the way so many meaningful things do—around the kitchen table.

In the quiet after the storm of loss, Kathleen Grayson Ahmad’s three children—Kiana Fellows, Monica Williams, and Marcus Grayson—gathered to reflect. Between memories and tears, laughter and love, they asked the question that would shape their next chapter:

“How do we honor Mom?”

Their mother, known lovingly as Kat, was more than a parent. She was a force. A proud woman of faith and conviction, a nurturer, a friend, and a tireless advocate for education, youth, and community. Whether she was sewing blankets for foster children, planting seeds in her garden, mentoring a young person, or lending a hand at church—Kat lived to serve.

That night, an idea took root. And from that idea, the Kathleen Grayson Ahmad Foundation was born.
This Foundation exists to honor her life, her legacy, and her unwavering belief in lifting others. Through purpose-driven philanthropy, we support and strengthen nonprofit initiatives that empower youth, advance educational equity, and provide essential resources to families in need.
We carry her torch with pride, continuing the work she began—opening doors, creating opportunity, and serving with grace, intellect, and heart.

Her legacy lives on.
