The Kleo Foundation

The foundation’s website identifies education, children, and animal welfare as its three primary areas. Its education work was described as support for higher education through scholarships and direct grants to educational institutions; the website noted that its scholarship program had not yet been instituted. For children, it described supporting family and support services serving underprivileged and distressed children and their families, particularly children affected by illness, neglect, or abuse. For animal welfare, it described support for organizations that shelter and adopt companion animals, as well as organizations working to preserve and protect wildlife.

The foundation’s 2025 grants included organizations with varied missions. Hopelink, which received $25,000, says it equips people to exit poverty through comprehensive services, partnerships, and advocacy for equitable opportunities. Christian Health Care Center, which received $10,000, describes itself as a skilled nursing facility providing housing services for older residents of Lynden regardless of ability to pay. Old Dog Haven, a $1,000 recipient, says it provides and facilitates homes and care for senior dogs. Feral Cat SpayNeuter Project, also a $1,000 recipient, says it works to save homeless cats through high-volume spay/neuter services and collaboration. LifeWire, which received $1,000, says it works to end domestic violence through community services, advocacy, education, and support.
