Robert Kraft and his family have consistently donated financial resources, time, relationships and expertise to a wide range of nonprofits and causes, resulting in lifetime commitments of almost $1 billion. The philanthropy from the Kraft family and their foundations has been felt by communities around the world through initiatives that create economic and social mobility, build bridges between communities, and address societal issues impacting historically marginalized communities.

While philanthropic efforts have been a family pillar for more than 50 years, the Kraft family has sharpened their focus on creating necessary change to ensure all people have access to equal opportunities. These efforts have included championing social justice, equality, creating access to healthcare, and combatting antisemitism.

Over the past nine years, the Kraft Family Foundation has provided nearly $20 million in catalyst opportunities, supporting hundreds of small to mid-size nonprofit organizations focused on educational opportunity, quality healthcare access, workplace development, anti-violence efforts, and more. Recent catalyst gifts partners include Institute for Nonprofit Practice, Bridge Over Troubled Waters, Franklin Cummings Tech, Friends of the Children – Boston, HopeWell, Foster Forward, Plummer Youth Promise, Bottom Line, FamilyAid Boston, among others.

In addition, the Kraft family has established more than three dozen permanent endowments at educational, health care and social services organizations and also provides educational support for universities and high schools as a way to create economic and social mobility for students.
