In the memory of Christopher Johnson McCandless, the Christopher Johnson McCandless Memorial Foundation, Inc. (“Foundation”) was created to make donations of the Foundation’s funds to various charitable organizations and individuals with needs. The abbreviated name for this fund is “Chris’s Purpose”. The primary focus of our charitable giving is children in need, world wide. This central cause served as the core of the precedent Memorial Fund (1994-2005) and continues unabated as “the Foundation”. In select special instances, a needy adult (usually a senior citizen), or a special interest will be the object of the funds charitable giving.

A Christian Organization, is usually the avenue for fund allocation. Naturally this organization will have verifiable performance aligned with our mission statement and goals. We always research the recipient organization receiving the Foundation’s Gift’s to the fullest extent. We review tax documents (EIN, Determination Letter, 990 PF yearly accounting, etc.), we interview and make direct contact with individuals administering and/or delivering the charitable service. We mostly engage in on-site interactions with those directly benefiting from the Foundation so that we can attest to, assure and bear witness to the efficacy of our efforts. Our goals and directions have not changed after more than a decade of giving to the benefit of needy children. We have become very competent at this process which has enabled us to better select and monitor the results of this effort.

We also are actively seeking an appropriate Alaskan Charity. The conditions are that the Charity is required to be 501 (c) 3 or similar organization.
