Moore for Kids was founded in 2007 by Kristi and Robert Moore. For years, we had hopes of starting a foundation that focused on helping children in need within our local area. Our primary focus was working with other not-for-profits and assist them in their causes. After moving to New York in 2008, our focus shifted to working with local charities that had a direct impact in the local community. Some of the first organizations we worked with were Make A Wish of WNY and Stone’s Buddies.
In 2012, we had more time available to focus and grow the foundation, and our mission expanded. We sought out opportunities not necessarily local to Buffalo, but programs that fulfilled our overall mission. We began to emphasize collaboration with businesses and other not-for-profits. Our goal was to build sustainable programs that went in creative new directions and offered better opportunities to assist those in need.
