Our Founders
Mark and Marcia King have a long history of philanthropy. They founded the Dallas-based MMK Foundation in 2007 to expand their areas of giving. Initially focused on more varied causes, the MMK Foundation focused its scope to support the health and research of children’s medical needs. Mark King, co-founder of the MMK Foundation said: “After working for almost 30 years in the fast-paced corporate world, I’ve finally been able to devote more time and energy into areas that are truly fulfilling to me. After years of informal support and giving, we established the MMK Foundation to create greater opportunities to support worthy causes.” Supporting the work of the MMK Foundation is the Board of Directors which includes the Kings and Warren Edwards, a corporate executive and long-time business associate.
