The Kempe Foundation for the Prevention and Treatment of Child Abuse and Neglect
The Kempe Foundation is primarily a fundraising organization, but we also engage in awareness/education and advocacy activities related to the issue of child abuse and neglect. Most of the funds we curently raise go to support the programs of The Kempe Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Child Abuse and Neglect, which creates programs to treat abused and neglected children, train professionals, and research new methodologies to help heal traumatized children. Both the Center and the Foundation were founded by C. Henry Kempe, M.D., a pioneer in the field of Child Abuse and Neglect. The Center will be celebrating 40 years of service to children and families in 2012.
The Kempe Foundation will increase awareness, engage in advocacy and secure and provide resources for the prevention and treatment of child abuse and neglect.
