Mental illness is not an individual's problem.

It is a family's problem. It is a community's problem, and it takes the efforts of an entire community to improve the lives of those who suffer from mental illness.

The Kim Foundation was established to provide support to charitable organizations across the state of Nebraska, with a special emphasis on those organizations that assist individuals with mental health difficulties. We recognize the power teamwork can have in the fight against mental illness.

In addition to providing critical financial support to programs serving local mental health needs, The Kim Foundation advocates for those suffering from mental illness, their caregivers, and their families. We work to encourage legislation that will free up desperately needed resources, and allocate those resources to programs that meet client needs directly, in the local community.

The Kim Foundation also serves as a link between the many individuals that must combine forces to improve the lives of those suffering from mental illness – family caregivers, mental health service providers, legislators, and concerned members of the community. We also focus on raising mental health awareness in our community through public education and encouraging volunteerism.
