Organization Mission and History

KTG Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by Rocky King with a mission to support, empower, and create positive change for individuals and families facing difficult circumstances. The Foundation was born from personal tragedy and a desire to turn pain into purpose.

On March 30, 2023, Rocky King was the victim of a tragic domestic violence shooting at Midtown Auto Body in Roane County, Tennessee. The incident resulted from a history of domestic violence from his son-in-law and forever changed the lives of everyone involved.

As Rocky and his family began to recover, he recognized the need to transform his experience into something meaningful. His family's experiences with domestic violence, his role as a father to a nonverbal son with severe autism, and his desire to help others became the foundation for KTG Foundation.

Today, KTG Foundation works to raise awareness, provide resources, and support individuals and families affected by autism, domestic violence, trauma, and other life challenges. Through programs such as the Blue Envelope Program, sensory resources for first responders and law enforcement, community events, education, advocacy, and direct assistance, KTG Foundation is committed to creating safer, more inclusive, and more compassionate communities. The Foundation believes that no one should have to face life's challenges alone and strives to ensure that individuals and families have access to understanding, support, and hope.
