I am well acquainted with the founder& executive director on both a personal and business level. She is the highest quality individual I know and her dedication and devotion to the foundation are exceptional. A first class organization all the way
This nonprofit has changed the lives of so many animals and people! Especially after all the hurricanes and damage to the island!

I have witnessed firsthand the very amazing work done by this nonprofit which very significantly helps both kids and animals of Grand Bahama. 100% of donations go to beneficiaries! The Kohn foundation has changed the lives of very many two and four legged creatures in need. They are wholly devoted to their mission. I was proud to be a part of a few spay neuter clinics which each handled 500 animals in just one week!
I have had the pleasure of working with Kohn Foundation for a number of years and found them to be very helpful to us in the New Providence animal welfare world, namely The Bahamas Humane Society. They assisted us by allowing donations to be made to the foundation on our behalf and also provide donations of equipments and drugs to assist with our on going free Spay/Neuter family Island Island projects.
Many thank to them for being there for the animals of the Bahamas
The Kohn Foundation is nonprofit where 100% of funds raised go directly to the care and support of the Humane Society of Grand Bahama. The work of HSGB with the help of the Kohn Foundation has not only saved thousands of animal lives on Grand Bahama for over 50 years but also has educated the island about animal welfare and provided vet care to the island for free or reduced costs. I never hesitate to donate to the Kohn Foundation because I know that every dollar will be used in the most effective way to further the cause of HSGB.
The only nonprofit I fully trust! Such amazing people and I am so happy knowing the donations made, go to exactly who they are supposed too!!!
The Kohn Foundation is guided by compassion and love for our fellow humans and animals. They do a great service by supporting education in the form of scholarships and supporting the spay and neuter clinics and puppy lifts that cuts down on euthanasias and provides opportunities for animals and people to experience love.

I Am French and Ellen Kohn is a personnal friend. During a stay by her, she worked on a distance means on my 2 dogs and gave me some medicine (drops) to put in their foods. The dogs feel better immediatly after and, many months latter, it is still true.
I also saw Ellen working on a horse, and I saw the horse getting cooler and beginning sleeping !

I am proud to be associated with The Kohn Foundation. The work being done to support the Humane Society of Grand Bahama is vital. The Humane Society does not receive any federal support and the spay and neuter clinics that they run are important to keep the animal over population in check.
The Kohn Foundation's support for the islands' stray street dogs -- known affectionately as "potcakes" -- is deserving of all our appreciation. With funding supplied in part through The Kohn Foundation, the Humane Society of Grand Bahama sponsors free spay and neuter clinics in order to educate local residents and curb the potcake population. As the owner/guardian of two rescued potcakes -- who would not be here but for these efforts -- I strongly urge others to work with and support The Kohn Foundation.

I am extremely proud to be associated with The Kohn Foundation. The work being done in the Bahamas creates a bridge of friendship and compassion between two neighbors.
One remarkable accomplishment by the foundation is the number of "potcake puppy lifts" that have been conducted. These rescue operations bring dogs that would surely be euthanized in the Bahamas to the United States where they are adopted by American families. These lifts are successful because they employ a broad partnership of compassionate families, dedicated veterinarians and generous corporations.
Additionally, The Kohn Foundation gives a hand up to worthy Bahamian students who are committed to improving their lives through continuing education. The scholarship program has received the support of international donors who recognize the impact that education makes in the lives of the student and their extended family.
