The Kerberos Foundation is a private operating foundation whose mission is to provide disaster relief and crisis response based upon the spirit of protection and mitigation of suffering.
Our main philosophy can be trimmed down to the Kent M. Keith quote “If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway.” Too often the red tape and bureaucracy of charity gets in the way of the work itself, which has the unintended consequence of increasing or extending human suffering. Representative of our core beliefs, the foundation took as its mascot and logo the mythological guardian of the underworld, Cerberus, using the old Greek Kerberos. The founders believed it to be a fitting representation of their goals; protecting the living first and foremost.
The Foundation hopes to make a difference in alleviating the immediate suffering that follows a disaster as well as the quiet suffering of people in crisis. We intend to take any opportunity to express random acts of kindness.
Founded in 2019 by Alex and Diana Kinikin, the foundation is still in its fledgling years, but aims to make a difference in the speed of crisis response, both environmental and personal.
