About Kendall & Taylor Atkinson Foundation
The Kendall & Taylor Atkinson Foundation’s largest recent grants have gone to the Fanconi Anemia Research Fund, including $140,000 in 2023 and $100,000 in 2024, for scientific, medical, and treatment research on Fanconi anemia and its related cancers, plus education and support services for affected families. That pattern defines the foundation’s profile: it backs research tied to a rare genetic disorder and supports the family network around it. The foundation’s recent giving also includes continuing support for the Kenneth R Atkinson MD Endowed Memorial Scholarship at the University of Colorado Foundation, with gifts of $25,000 in 2023, $20,000 in 2024, and $17,500 in 2024. Another 2024 grant of $17,500 went to Camp Barnabas. Across these grants, the foundation mixes disease-focused research funding with education and family support, and its grant history shows repeated support for the same organizations over multiple years. The result is a clear emphasis on sustained, mission-specific philanthropy rather than one-off awards spread across many causes.
What Kendall & Taylor Atkinson Foundation Funds
Fanconi anemia is the foundation’s core focus. It awarded the Fanconi Anemia Research Fund $72,513 in 2024 to support scientific, medical, and treatment research of Fanconi anemia and its related cancers, along with education and support services for affected families. That language shows both a research and a family-support component. Education is another visible thread. The University of Colorado Foundation received $20,000 in 2024 for the Kenneth R Atkinson MD Endowed Memorial Scholarship, following a $25,000 grant in 2023 for the same scholarship. The foundation also supports service settings for children and families through a $25,000 grant in 2023 to Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation for general purposes and a $17,500 grant in 2024 to Camp Barnabas. Taken together, the grants point to medical research, scholarship support, and family-facing services.
