Who We Are

Mission:

The Foundation was established in December 2013 by Kathryn B. McQuade, after retiring from 33 years of working in the business  community.   I was blessed to have been born into a loving middle class family.  My father worked very hard to insure that all of his children were given an opportunity for a good education and my mother, “a stay at home Mom’ was always there for us.  My world was safe and comfortable.  My life is in stark contrast to how much of the rest of the world lives.  I continue to read of the terrible injustices waged against women and children globally and hope that this foundation can provide them the opportunity and resources to succeed.   We will support organizations that help us achieve our goal of  Striving to make sustainable improvements in women and children’s rights education and welfare.

Tax Status:

In February 2013, the Foundation filed with the Internal Revenue Service, Form 1023, Application For Recognition of Exemption under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.  We are awaiting determination and will update the website.

Financial Status:

The Foundations assets consist primarily of Stock and cash of over $4 million.  Form 990 – PF when filed will be available on the website.
