The mission of the Kemp Klein Foundation is to provide support to charitable organizations and to promote volunteerism throughout the firm and community.

The attorneys and staff formed the Kemp Klein Foundation in 1994. Everyone in the firm is encouraged to be involved from hands-on volunteer opportunities to paying to participate in casual Fridays. The Kemp Klein Foundation is funded via proceeds from our casual Friday donations and contributions from the firm. Since its inception, the Foundation has contributed over $1,000,000 to hundreds of worthwhile causes which reflect our shared values.

The Foundation’s community outreach efforts include our longtime support of Oakland Literacy Council, our status as a Legacy Society Benefactor of Common Ground, and our contributions to Forgotten Harvest.

Kemp Klein is a proud Legacy Society Benefactor for Common Ground. We have provided in excess of $200,000 in pro bono work to Common Ground. In addition to the pro bono work and financial contributions, we have hosted joint events for staff and clients of Common Ground, participated in Common Ground’s Adopt-A-Family initiative and we have held blanket making and other events to help those in need.

For more than three decades, the Kemp Klein Foundation has proudly supported the Oakland Literacy Council, reflecting our steadfast belief that literacy is essential to personal and community growth. For 31 years, we have sponsored the Council’s Ex Libris event, an annual celebration recognizing the transformative power of literacy and honoring the remarkable achievements of students and dedicated volunteers.
