The Kempe Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1976, provides the education, advocacy and fundraising support for the work of The Kempe Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Child Abuse and Neglect. http://www.kempe.org/ Kempe is partnering with policy makers, human service agencies, child advocacy groups and nonprofits locally and around the nation and globe to prevent child abuse and neglect and to treat victims of abuse and neglect. Dr. C. Henry Kempe – a field pioneer who first identified child abuse – founded the C. Henry Kempe National Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Child Abuse and Neglect in 1972, which is known today as The Kempe Center. Since then, The Kempe Foundation has provided the education, advocacy and fundraising to support the outstanding programs at The Kempe Center. Through the work we do today under our four CARE pillars – clinical care, advocacy, research and education – we are a part of a game-changing, paradigm shift in the way we think about, talk about and treat child abuse and neglect as a public health crisis. Kempe is the only organization of its kind to partner with a children’s hospitals and research university to address the issues of child abuse and neglect. Together with our outstanding Kempe Center and Foundation staff, our Board of Directors and our donors, we can continue to provide unparalleled resources and direct clinical services to children and families in Colorado and nationwide.
