The Kansas Endowment for Youth (KEY) Fund and the Children’s Initiatives Fund (CIF) were created as the result of a legislative task force and legislation to provide oversight and guidance over the use of the proceeds of a nationwide tobacco litigation against four major tobacco companies. The ensuing settlement promised to provide perpetual annual payments proportional to the state’s smoking-related health care costs.
