John Kane

John leads our development effort, recruiting partners and pursuing grant funds to implement our mission. With a strong background in philanthropic logistics, he understands the challenges faced by both food producers and food-insecure families in rural communities across the US. Since 2006, he has led or contributed to efforts that delivered more than $150 million in donated goods to locations in the Caribbean, across the US, the Pacific, and central Asia, meeting both every day and disaster response needs.

Before his philanthropic work, John started and ran an advanced materials research firm, conducting projects for energy and aerospace clients. There, he was awarded multiple patents for energy, environmental, and materials processing innovations.
