Who We Are - The Claire Kolt Foundation

Hands holding a red heart on a wooden surface.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide compassionate support and financial assistance to families facing the immense challenges of caring for a child who has endured a life-threatening injury. We aim to alleviate the burdens of medical expenses and everyday costs, empowering families to focus on their child's recovery and well-being. Through our dedicated efforts, we strive to offer hope, relief, and solidarity, fostering resilience and strength within these families during their time of greatest need.

Our Approach

At The Claire Kolt Foundation, our fundraising approach is multifaceted, designed to engage both the generosity of donors and the heartfelt desire to directly impact the lives of children in hospitals. Through traditional donation avenues, we welcome contributions of any size, ensuring transparency and accountability in the allocation of funds towards financial assistance programs.

Additionally, we offer a unique opportunity for supporters to make a tangible difference by purchasing a 'Care Bear' from Claire Bear to be delivered directly to a child in the hospital. These bears not only provide comfort and companionship during difficult times but also serve as a symbol of community support and solidarity. Each purchase not only brightens a child's day but also contributes to our overarching mission of providing financial assistance to families in need.

By combining traditional philanthropy with innovative initiatives that foster connection and empathy, we strive to maximize our impact and create meaningful change in the lives of families facing the challenges of caring for a child with a life-threatening injury.
