King of Kings Foundation, Inc.
City-funded organization
King of Kings Foundation, Inc. was founded in 2005 by Lance Feurtado and his brothers, formerly incarcerated members of a Queens drug gang, per the foundation's own site; news coverage describes its violence-prevention and youth mentoring work as concentrated in the South Jamaica and St. Albans neighborhoods of Queens where the Feurtados grew up. Its largest active NYC contracts are two Department of Youth and Community Development renewals of its Crisis Management System violence prevention mentoring program (a combined $19 million), both awarded without a fresh competitive bid. The organization has been awarded $44 million across 34 registered contracts since 2010 ($23 million paid to date); 99% of that contract value ($44 million) was awarded without a fresh competitive bid, including an $11 million negotiated Crisis Management Systems contract and a $10.7 million negotiated Anti-Gun Violence Initiative contract with the Mayoralty that ended in 2023. It has also received $1.8 million in City Council discretionary funding across 81 awards, and its Executive Director Lance Feurtado was paid $276,920 in FY2024 per the organization's IRS Form 990.
