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.

The foundation will support qualified organizations that forcus on:

  • Women and children’s rights, safety, health and education and training
  • Animal rights and safety for domestic and endangered species
  • Environmental improvements and innovations

I continue to read of the terrible injustices waged against women, children animals and our environment globally and hope that this foundation can provide organizations the opportunity and resources to succeed. We are particularly interested in projects that incorporate more tan one of our focus areas.
