Kinder Foundation

Kinder Foundation In short, urban green space, education and quality of life.

The Kinder Foundation® mission is to enrich the lives of people in the Greater Houston area through transformational grants that impact urban green space, education and quality of life. The mission of the Kinder Foundation is to support Greater Houston as a model city for economic opportunity and quality of life by providing transformational grants to promote preservation and accessibility of park

s and green space for healthy recreation, encouraging and improving learning opportunities for those who strive to achieve, and supporting those Community, Arts and Medical Science organizations that can be shown to favorably impact the quality of life of Houstonians. Rich and Nancy Kinder established the Kinder Foundation in 1997 to provide major gifts to public causes with the intention of helping people realize healthy and rewarding lives. The Kinder Foundation is primarily, but not exclusively, focused on the Greater Houston Community and the State of Texas.
