Abercrombie & Kent Philanthropy

Abercrombie & Kent Philanthropy (AKP), a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is the philanthropic arm of Abercrombie & Kent (A&K). The organization traces its beginnings back to 1982 when Jorie Butler Kent, AKP Co-Chairman, together with A&K Founder, Chairman and CEO Geoffrey Kent, first raised funds for conservation efforts in the Masai Mara National Reserve of Kenya. Today, AKP carries on A&K’s social and environmental commitments on a global scale with approximately 50 projects on all seven continents. We believe our partnership with local communities is critical to sustaining the fabric of the diverse destinations we visit. We are deeply committed to the Four Pillars of Abercrombie & Kent Philanthropy: Education: We enable children and young adults to fulfill their potential by providing a supportive learning environment. Health: We actively support the water, sanitation and other health-related needs of residents within our partner communities.  Enterprise: We support the growth of economic opportunity in our partner communities through training, income-generating activities and other innovations to positively impact livelihoods.
