The FIRE Foundation of Northern Kentucky has established the FIRE Foundation of Northern Kentucky Endowment at Horizon Community Foundation of Northern Kentucky to help sustain its mission of promoting inclusion and creating a culture of belonging for students with disabilities in Diocese of Covington Catholic schools.
“At FIRE Foundation of Northern Kentucky, we believe Catholic schools are stronger when children of all abilities have the opportunity to learn, grow and belong alongside their siblings and peers. Inclusion isn’t just about opening a classroom door — it’s about opening hearts, minds and opportunities,” said Missy Hail, president and co-founder of FIRE Foundation of Northern Kentucky.
The endowment will provide long-term support for FIRE Foundation of Northern Kentucky’s efforts to ensure students of all abilities have access to the resources and opportunities they need to learn, grow and thrive together.

“Establishing an endowment is a meaningful investment in the future of our community. We are proud to partner with the FIRE Foundation of Northern Kentucky to help ensure its mission of inclusion continues for generations to come. This fund reflects the power of philanthropy to create lasting change, support students of all abilities, and strengthen the schools and communities that make Northern Kentucky such a special place to live and learn,” said Nancy Grayson, president and CEO of Horizon Community Foundation of Northern Kentucky…
