About US

We envision a world where no one is invisible. Where children thrive, communities flourish, and those too often forgotten are given the tools, recognition, and love they need to live full and empowered lives

Foundation history

Kym Rapier-Verette has long been one of the most generous and quietly impactful philanthropists in America. With over $100 million directed to charitable causes over the course of her life, her support has helped build cancer centers, fund children’s homes, deliver disaster relief, rehabilitate wildlife, and fuel education, health, and environmental programs across the globe.

Her journey began not in adulthood, but in childhood—where she was spearheading efforts to raise money for medical research while still in middle school. That early spark has since grown into a lifelong mission, guided by empathy, decisiveness, and a deep sense of responsibility to those most often overlooked.

Kym’s giving is defined by action and connection. Whether helping children get legal identity documents in Southeast Asia or flying hundreds of animals out of disaster zones, she shows up in person, listens closely, and gives boldly. Her philanthropy is global in scope and deeply human in approach.

Kym’s Angels Foundation is a vehicle not only to expand her reach but to inspire and uplift others. Through the foundation, Kym aims to spotlight causes that matter, uplift grassroots partners, and set a new standard for what hands-on, values-driven philanthropy can look like.
