Grant from UPS
The
Kentucky Clean Fuels Coalition, a non-profit alternative

The KCFC, established in

technologies linking providers and end users in the
transportation and energy arenas across Kentucky.
“KCFC members provide a
balanced depth of real world knowledge that makes us a
credible resource for the industry. From hybrid electric
school buses to advanced biofuel production, we have real
world partners providing real world data. This funding from
UPS enables us to continue expanding that knowledge base,”
said Barry Zink, KCFC President.
Established

identifies specific areas where it’s backing clearly impacts
social issues. In support of this strategic approach, The
UPS Foundation has identified the following focus area for
giving: non-profit effectiveness, economic & global
literacy, encouraging diversity, community safety and
environmental sustainability.
In 2009, the UPS
Foundation distributed more than $43 million worldwide

for building stronger communities.
The UPS Foundation is
committed to funding impactful programs that make a
meaningful difference in our communities – so we are proud
