Training and assisting disabled individuals and disabled armed forces veterans to become productive workers and lead productive lives.

I come from a rather humble background. My father was a sixth grade educated Pennsylvania coal miner who suffered a crushed pelvis in the mines and then worked in a sheltered work shop in Binghamton, NY later in life. My mother worked in a factory putting jackets on books. Together, they never made $20,000 in any year. My father taught me work ethic and to never quit. My mother taught me how to save and manage a budget
Armed with a strong foundation from my parents, educational experiences at St. Lawrence and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and valuable early career experiences at Bache & Co., Shearson Hayden-Stone, and Marine Midland Bank, I was able to start Karpus Investment Management in May of 1986. Thirty years ago, I could never have imagined the success that we have achieved. To me, life is all about friends, family and helping those in need.
Therefore, I have started The Karpus Family Foundation, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, with an emphasis on helping people and animals in need. Promoting education is also a goal, with the ultimate objective of helping people live a productive life. My father never realized that the sheltered workshop where he worked was subsidized by donations. He took pride in the fact that he was working and earning a paycheck. This pride and sense of satisfaction is something I hope to rekindle in people who benefit from the Karpus Family Foundation.
Sincerely,
George W. Karpus

Directors Joan and Rodd Riesenberger had the pleasure of meeting with the great people at Junior Achievement of Tampa Bay. We received a first rate tour and we’re able to see the Elementary and Middle Schoolers in action, learning business skills, communications and finance. It was a great chance to see in person what they will be building right here in Rochester at Junior Achievement of Central Upstate New York. Special thanks to Sally Eidge for taking the time to explain the program. Your knowledge and enthusiasm are outstanding. 
KFF is a proud sponsor of JA in ROC! ... See MoreSee Less

The “businesses “ are like the classes ? That’s AWESOME!
Thanks to our friends at Flash Point Customs in Rochester, we have a new logo for the Foundation!
We've been looking for a new logo for a while and this one seems to fit us well. We love the tree, as it represents "family" and George & Kathy are all about family (it's our middle name). ... See MoreSee Less

I'm very excided to announce that we have approved several new grants for 2023, including one for the Gary Sinise Foundation! We will be collaborating to build homes for our military veterans who need less physical barriers for them to be more independent and live a happier and productive life.
This was introduced to us by our friends Romy and Gaby from Stay In Step Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Recovery in Tampa, who recently received their own "forever home" from the Gary Sinise Foundation. This is a huge undertaking and we are grateful to all of our men & women in the armed forces. Thank you for your service!
