Welcome to our Foundation

The Babbitt Family Foundation is a 501(c)(3) family foundation. We believe that access to capital and opportunity can transform lives — from the classroom to the marketplace. Our giving focuses on education, support for sole proprietors and micro-entrepreneurs, and children's health and well-being.

As an active member of the Kiva community, we extend our mission globally by providing support to entrepreneurs, helping them build businesses, support their families, and strengthen their communities.

Our Commitment to Entrepreneurs

Through our partnership with Kiva, we have joined a global movement of donors who believe that small amounts of capital can unlock extraordinary potential. We fund micro-entrepreneurs in the United States and around the world — people building bakeries, farms, repair shops, and everything in between.
