Charitable Giving
Through financial contributions, collaborating with nonprofit organizations, and employee volunteerism, Koll brings positive, lasting change to the communities that we serve. The Koll Company has a long history of charitable giving and volunteering to nonprofit organizations that bring hope, comfort, inspiration, and opportunity to kids, families, and communities. Our charitable giving is focused on the following four organizations where we feel that we can make an impact:
Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation
The Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation identifies and invests in leading edge research that demonstrates the best hope for a cure to childhood cancer. Since its founding PCRF has made huge strides in the treatment, care, and prevention of childhood cancers but there is much more work to be done. PCRF is a pioneer in eliminating childhood cancer through their ability to identify and fund cutting edge research. PCRF exclusively target funds toward emerging and breakthrough opportunities.

Big Brothers Big Sisters delivers mentoring to youth facing adversity through four program models -Traditional Mentoring, Big Couples, High School Bigs and Workplace Mentoring. They provide the training, resources and support necessary for each match to succeed.
Kathi Koll Foundation
The mission of The Kathi Koll Foundation is to support family caregivers in need with the goal of improving their quality of life. The role of the caregiver can be one of the toughest jobs imaginable. That is one of the biggest lessons that Kathi Koll learned during her more than six years as a full-time family caregiver to her husband Don Koll, who suffered a stroke that left him paralyzed from the neck down and forced to live on a respirator. Since then supporting struggling caregivers has become the mission of The Kathi Koll Foundation. The foundation offers short-term financial subsidies for caregivers in need, and a community outreach and education program geared toward helping caregivers navigate the various challenges that can arise.
