Empowering Communities: KAYD Foundation’s Journey with the MN PROMISE Act
🎥 Check out Mohamed Ahmed’s short spotlight video to hear his inspiring story firsthand!
Meet Mohamed Ahmed, the passionate founder of the KAYD Foundation. KAYD’s philosophy has four key points:
Health
Education
Environmental Issues
Economic Development
Mohamed first heard about the MN PROMISE Act from a friend. Curious but uncertain, he decided to apply. He didn’t know what the outcome would be, but he saw the opportunity and took a chance.
The application process, he shared, was smooth and clear. Communication during Stage 1 was strong, helping him feel guided along the way. When he reached Stage 2, things slowed down, but communication remained steady. Even without knowing whether he would be awarded, the information provided gave him confidence in the process.
Then came an unexpected moment of joy. One day, Mohamed received the news he had been selected. At first, it felt unreal, but a few days later, the grant funds appeared in his account, confirming what he had heard: the MN PROMISE Act was a real and meaningful opportunity.
Mohamed’s gratitude is heartfelt as he says;
‘‘Thank you one million and one time, and we'll continue working together the rest of my life.’’
Grateful for the support, Mohamed is committed to using the funds to strengthen the work of the KAYD Foundation. The grant will go toward capacity building, a portion of rent, technology upgrades, and other essential services. He plans to work closely with his team to set clear priorities and ensure the funds are used responsibly and transparently to support the foundation’s mission.
