WHAT WE DO
Childhood Literacy INITIATIVES
We place books into the hands of children and support literacy initiatives that help young readers discover joy, confidence, and possibility through reading.
Ovarian Cancer
Research + Education
We fund early detection research and education efforts to increase awareness of ovarian cancer warning signs and improve outcomes through earlier diagnosis.
HONORING AMY’S
LEGACY
Amy was an award-winning and New York Times-bestselling author. The AKR Foundation seeks to honor her legacy with dedication to these causes.
OUR IMPACT
Together, we turn knowledge into action—and compassion into lasting impact.
At the Amy Krouse Rosenthal Foundation, education is at the heart of everything we do—whether it’s advancing early detection of ovarian cancer or helping children fall in love with reading.
We fund groundbreaking ovarian cancer early detection research, support education and awareness efforts that empower women and families, and place books directly into the hands of children who need them most. These efforts are made possible through strategic funding, trusted research institutions and nonprofit partners, and a deeply committed community of supporters.
