Founded in 2025, the Robin Kane Foundation exists to uplift and empower Episcopal youth by expanding access to faith-based and academic opportunities from kindergarten through undergraduate studies. All proceeds from our initiatives go directly into scholarships that help remove financial barriers to participation. Inspired by the rich heritage of the Episcopal Church and a commitment to equity, we support the next generation of Episcopal leaders through creative engagement, community partnerships, and storytelling.
The Robin Kane Foundation is named in honor of Kimberly Robin Kane, the beloved aunt of founder, Elizabeth Kane. Kimberly, has always embodied what true inclusion looks like: welcoming, joyful, and full of grace. Growing up, Elizabeth spent countless summer afternoons coloring beside her aunt. No matter who walked by, Kim would offer them a seat and a crayon. That simple act of invitation became the inspiration for this foundation. “Everyone can color” is more than a memory, it’s a model. One that now guides our mission to bridge the financial barriers that prevent Episcopal youth from fully accessing faith and educational opportunities.
