Welcome to the Katharine Howard Foundation

Mission

Katharine Howard Foundation (KHF) is an independent Foundation focused on improving the lives of young children and their families. The Foundation does this through working with others to identify need, build on existing initiatives, formulate new initiatives, make grants, gather and share learning, contribute to the development of policy and practice and protect the endowment fund.

Principles

The key principles that underpin KHF’s work are:

1. A belief that KHF can make a difference through focused interventions based on collaboration, reflective learning, adding value and flexibility.
2. A commitment to equality and overcoming disadvantage and to promote equality of opportunity for all children.
3. A commitment to apply respect, integrity and empathy in all aspects of KHF’s work.
4. A commitment to transparency and accountability throughout all KHF’s work.
