About the Polly Klaas Foundation

The Polly Klaas Foundation is a national nonprofit that helps find missing children and prevents children from going missing in the first place. We accomplish our goals by promoting public policies, educating the public, and providing families, law enforcement and communities with the ongoing support and expertise needed to protect our children. We have helped more than 5,800 families find missing children using our compassion, experience and professionalism.

Working together with the community, policymakers and law enforcement, we can make America safe for children by promoting public policies and educating kids, parents and the entire community on how to bring children home and keep them safe.
