The Maue Kay Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c) (3) charitable foundation formed in 2004 by John Kay and Jutta Maue Kay which supports individuals and organizations engaged in the protection of WILDLIFE, THE ENVIRONMENT and HUMAN RIGHTS
Foundation Statement
In recent years, whether at home in North America or through travels in other parts of the world, we’ve increasingly come in contact with people whose efforts to protect Wildlife, the Natural Environment and Human Rights are an inspiration to us. Providing financial assistance for their various projects is the primary mission of the Maue Kay Foundation. However we also hope to enlist additional support for their exemplary work, through the information, images and video clips, featured on our various projects.

Born To Be wild

John Kay has created & narrated a 65-minute HD film of the presentation which can be purchased from this site for $15. Just think, no time lost driving to a Theater, no parking fees, no high-ticket prices, just fifteen dollars for viewing – by yourself, or with family and friends – an engaging story from the comfort of your place of choice. But wait, there’s more. Your 15 Dollars – or more if you so choose – will help MKF to continue supporting the Wildlife Defenders who, now more than ever, need every Dollar for their crucial and demanding work.
