Changing the lives of low-income children and their families in Colorado
Kenzi’s Causes is a non-profit organization that supports underprivileged children and their families throughout the state of Colorado by providing them with the tools and resources needed to truly thrive and live an overall more well-rounded life.
The Story of Kenzi
A tragedy that continues to bring hope to thousands
In 2007, Founder Jessica Bachus began her journey to giving after experiencing the immense and unexpected loss of her daughter, Kenzi who was stillborn at 24 weeks. To honor her daughter’s memory, Jessica and her family began providing dolls to young girls in Colorado who wouldn’t otherwise receive Christmas gifts. What started as a small step to impact low-income kids exploded into a movement bigger than Jessica ever imagined.
Today, Kenzi’s Causes has collected more than 100,000 toys, school supplies, books, lunch boxes, and more and continues to grow by providing more tools, resources, and programs for families who would otherwise go without.
The story of Kenzi lives on and will continue to impact a multitude of lives each and every day.

At Kenzi's Causes, our mission is to uplift disadvantaged children and their families across Colorado by providing essential support and spreading joy throughout the year.

Beyond the holidays, we empower students with school supplies, clothing, and resources necessary for academic success.

Get Involved
Every child deserves the tools to succeed in life, and most importantly, feel loved and valued.
Nearly 65% of families in Colorado struggle to provide basic needs for their kids—including food, school supplies, clothing, holiday gifts, and more.
Imagine dreading going to school because you don’t have a backpack full of school supplies needed or celebrating the holidays knowing there are no presents to open.
We want to change that. At Kenzi’s Causes, we believe no circumstance should limit a child’s happiness, ability, or success in the world. That’s why we do what we do. Because their lives matter—and we want to make sure the world knows.
