We aim to build and strengthen local communities by giving back through our charitable platform, supporting causes and organizations that produce measurable results and create positive lasting impacts. Our giving efforts are directed through the Kennedy Wilson Charitable Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, which awarded approximately $2.4 million in grants and charitable gifts to qualifying non-profit, civic or educational public charities in 2021.
We are focused on supporting our U.S. armed forces and improving the lives of children through educational opportunities and quality healthcare. We are proud to be involved with the Navy SEAL Foundation, which provides immediate and ongoing support and assistance to the U.S. Navy SEALs and their families. In addition to our Chairman and CEO William McMorrow's involvement with the Foundation, we place SEALs in jobs once they return from active duty, and we provide scholarships for veterans to continue their education. We have raised more than $16 million for the Foundation since 2015.
