Mission Statement
The Patricia Kind Family Foundation, a private, not-for-profit philanthropic
organization, was established in 1996 with a gift from the estates of Hedwig
and Arnold Louis van Ameringen, parents of Patricia Kind. The Foundation is
family managed and believes strongly in the importance of supporting families.
The mission of the Foundation is to financially support organizations that help
children, adults, and seniors in need obtain physical and mental health care and
related human services in the Philadelphia area.

The Foundation is interested in encouraging practical solutions to community
problems and supporting preventive and direct service efforts within its chosen
fields.  The Patricia Kind Family Foundation operates no programs of its own,
but performs its mission by funding proven approaches to health and human
services from appropriate agencies and institutions in the Delaware Valley
area, particularly those providing basic human services to those in need.  
Priority will be given to smaller organizations with the potential to make a
difference.
