The Name Behind the Initials

Ted and Kim Day with grandson Chase

The TKD Foundation was established in 2018 by philanthropists Ted and Kim Day who envision a world where people’s most basic needs are met, and one where innovative ideas can be turned into real help for mankind.  The Foundation was created to help people through charitable giving in areas of community, education, healthcare, and entrepreneur/non-profit incubator projects.

The Foundation receives its income primarily from ETS Wound Care based in Rolla, Missouri.  ETS Wound Care is an emerging wound care company focused on using ETS’s borate-based material technology to develop and commercialize a broad range of breakthrough solutions for the wound care market to minimize the cost of treatment, while improving patient outcomes. ETS Wound Care is a subsidiary company of Engineered Tissue Solutions (ETS), a holdings company focused on “Healing People to Help People,” and committed to donating a large portion of its profits to various charities.  For more information on ETS Wound Care, please visit www.etswoundcare.com.

As the TKD Foundation’s impact grows and evolves, we are committed to following our core values and responding to the ever-changing needs of society.
