The Kensill Fund for Hope, a 501(c)(3) scholarship and educational foundation established in 1995, was named in honor of the late Rev. Frank Kensill. His goal was to provide educational opportunities for the inner-city youths at Mid-Town Parish, the church he served in Philadelphia. These opportunities include after-school programs for grade school through high school students and scholarships for those continuing their education after high school.
