Henry P Kendall Foundation
The Henry P. Kendall Foundation is a philanthropic organization based in Boston, MA, with a mission to effect substantial and lasting change in the health and sustainability of our planet. Established 60 years ago by two adventurous brothers, the foundation focuses on underwriting worthy and imaginative projects that have a real impact on the issues they care about, prioritizing action over research and nurturing talent. Originally known as the Norfolk Charitable Trust, the foundation was renamed in honor of its namesake, Henry P. Kendall, an early twentieth-century New England entrepreneur and industrialist. Over the years, the foundation has evolved its focus, starting with environmental concerns in the 1970s, then shifting to nuclear non-proliferation and arms-control activities in the 1980s. In 1999, it initiated a climate change program and later expanded its efforts to support organizations working on reducing greenhouse gases and adapting to the impacts of global warming. Since 2011, the foundation has been dedicated to creating a resilient and healthy food system in New England, increasing the production and consumption of local, sustainably produced food.Generated from the website
