About Us
The Kristine Pettoni Foundation is an Atlanta-based, non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of hard working mothers. Our team of volunteers, advisors, and board members contribute their time and resources to support these mothers in their efforts to rejoin the workforce, progress in their careers, and attain financial stability.
Our Namesake
Kristine's life was marked by various passions, but her unwavering commitment to advocating for women in the workforce stood out as one of her top priorities. Her dedication to this cause only intensified when she became a mother to a daughter, sparking a desire to merge motherhood and professional life seamlessly. She cleverly referred to her daughter's playdates as "networking events," embodying the essence of the working mom. Beyond her role as a working mother, Kristine played many other roles in the lives of those around her – she was a mentor, life coach, social chair, home organizer, and financial planner. Perhaps her most remarkable gift was her ability to empower and uplift those she interacted with, making everyone feel that they too could find success it their ventures.
Kristine's untimely departure left a void that was challenging to express in words. Yet, in the stories shared by everyone who had the privilege of knowing her, a common thread emerged. Kristine possessed the remarkable ability to make people feel truly seen and valued. She inspired and encouraged others to flourish through her actions and support. She left an indelible impact on everyone fortunate enough to have known her.

Founder's Club
The Founders Club is an exclusive group of generous donors who supported The KPF financially during our first 2 years of operation. At the launch of this organization, we set a lofty goal to create a $250,000 endowment to fund our Accelerate and Elevate programs in perpetuity.
We can’t be a foundation without our founders. The Founders Club allows us to thank the friends, family, and organizations who supported us financially when we needed it the most.
