Making an Impact with Folds of Honor

At Kendra Scott, we’re proud to support our veterans, first responders, and their families year-round by partnering with Folds of Honor, a nonprofit organization providing educational scholarships to the spouses and children of our fallen or disabled military members and first responders.  

Folds of Honor scholarships empower people from all walks of life through education, including private-school tuition or tutoring in grades K-12 as well as post-secondary tuition. Through our continued partnership, we’re proud to have helped fund 37 life-changing scholarships to deserving families. 

Want to get involved in supporting our military and first responder families?

Here are two ways to join us in action. 

1. All year long, shop our Folds of Honor suite here where 20% of proceeds benefits Folds of Honor.  

2. During July, round up your change when checking out in-store or online to support Folds of Honor. Year-round, you can round up your change to The Kendra Scott Foundation to empower women and youth.   

Now, we invite you to meet a few of the amazing scholarship recipients and learn more about their inspiring stories.
