Abercrombie & Kent Philanthropy

Abercrombie & Kent Philanthropy (AKP) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving natural habitats, protecting wildlife and promoting the welfare of indigenous communities throughout the world.[1][2]

History

AKP was founded in 1982 by Abercrombie & Kent’s (A&K) Vice Chairman Jorie Butler Kent, and A&K founder, Chairman and CEO Geoffrey Kent. The first conservation efforts were focused at raising funds for the Masai Mara National Reserve.[3]
