About Us

The Kenny Family Foundation grew out of values passed down through generations. The idea of helping a neighbor in need. The definition of neighbors has changed dramatically in recent years with the world as a whole having to act on matters that will affect everyone. The geography may have changed from a small farming town to global and country wide but the ideology remains the same.

  • Our goal is to help people reach their potential with a strong focus on education and attaining self-sufficiency
  • Our strategy is to get to know the projects we are supporting in depth. We want to add Value, not just Funds.
  • Goal number one is to find an outstanding individual on the ground who can make things happen. We identify this person as the "Champion"

Mission Statement

The Kenny Family Foundation is involved in human resource development.  We believe that every person deserves to achieve in life and become participating members of society.  In society, an individual's opportunity to achieve their potential, to increase their independence, to improve their quality of life - is not equitably distributed. Barriers to achievement exist for individuals, to organizations servicing individuals, to various subsections of society.  The Kenny Family Foundation wants to lower these barriers as much as possible or eliminate them all together.  The Foundation will operationalize its values and mission in the following areas:

  1. Development of Educational opportunities for all ages, primarily through grassroots initiatives; top down initiatives that support grassroots programmes will be supported as well (top down will be defined as initiatives developed at the academic, theoretic, or macro-levels).
  2. Support organizations that foster entrepreneurial spirit among the ambitious individuals, i.e. micro-finance organizations and grassroots development of small business
  3. Support organizations or persons that work with the socially disadvantaged.  Persons ostracized from their cultural and legal support systems due to circumstances out of their control i.e. Orphans, Aboriginal Peoples, disavowed women in traditional cultures, victims of domestic violence, Elder Care.
