ABOUT THE FOUNDATION
The Dragon Kim Foundation – a 501c3 organization that serves a unique and innovative approach to supporting youth exploration in sports, music and arts programs. Through the tragic loss of their son Dragon, Daniel Kim and Grace Tsai created a foundation in his name to support their dream that all kids deserved the benefit of a well-rounded educational experience. During his freshman year in high school, Dragon initiated a project to provide free after-school music instruction for elementary school students in Santa Ana, CA. With Dragon’s passing – his work is carrying on and his legacy is broadening.
The Dragon Kim Foundation is committed to funding and creating programs that enable children to explore and pursue their passions within Academics, Athletics, and the Arts. The Dragon Kim Foundation supports:
Music Programs
• Introducing music to young children. Working the Orange County School of the Arts, The Dragon Kim Foundation is running full band and orchestra programs, with high school students volunteering as mentors. Students receive free weekly music instruction with the goal to build and expand this program to other schools and cities.
Scholarships
• Each year the Dragon Kim Foundation gives out several significant merit-based scholarships to talented and dedicated high school seniors that have pursued their passions and with commitment.
The Dragon Kim Fellowship Program
• Awarding community service grants to support motivated high school students that want to develop and manage a service project to impact their community. The Fellowship program provides intensive leadership training, business training, mentors, and administrative support.
