Kindred Foundation is focused on doing charity differently. We run our own programs and support our charity partners to help make a difference through the careful guardianship of our long-term endowment structure.  We are focused on our three pillars: childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer research and programs, youth mental and physical health, and community support (e.g., food insecurity, and end-of-life/hospice/palliative care for children and adults).
