Kerstner Foundation Information

The Kerstner Foundation was formed in early 2006 when successful young entrepreneur Chris Kerstner had an epiphany. Why did the nonprofits that often needed a great website and or great marketing – always get the short end of the stick? Chris realized this was because complex high quality interactive websites can often cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to build; and it would be unethical for these nonprofits to spend that type of money on marketing and website rebuilds when it met capital was being redirected from saving lives to writing computer code. Chris then began to approach colleagues through EO to help him spread the word that his newly formed foundation was ready to help! Three years later The Kerstner Foundation continues to push the boundary of what a “free website” is perceived as. Starting in mid 2007 The Kerstner Foundation started to also give cash donations on top of its already donated time and expertise. We now give hundreds of thousands of dollars to charities across the globe every year. To date we have donated close to $1.9 Million U.S. Dollars in time and cash, have built over 115 websites at no charge and helped many less fortunate individuals across the world. Why? Why Not!
