The Kiona Foundation has secured a research campus.

For the first time, this work has the opportunity to live in a dedicated physical space where science, data, botanical medicine, and patient-centered innovation come together under one roof.

The Kiona Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on advancing research, advocacy, and education at the intersection of botanical medicine, endocannabinoid system science, and patient-centered care.

We were founded on a simple but urgent reality:
Current treatment pathways are often too toxic, too limited, and too slow to evolve for the patients and families who need them most.

Our work focuses on:
• Advancing novel botanical drug discovery
• Expanding research into the endocannabinoid system
• Supporting patients and families navigating complex diagnoses
• Building data-driven, integrative approaches to care

We are not only supporting individuals but also building infrastructure for what comes next.

Today, the Kiona Foundation is entering a new phase.

With a research campus secured and final-stage approval underway for our New York cannabis research license, we are positioned to move from concept to execution at scale.

This marks a transition from:
research in theory → research in practice
support in isolation → systems of care
possibility → infrastructure

Every donation supports this next chapter.

The Home of Hope Project is a rare opportunity to secure an existing campus property that can become a permanent home for pediatric cancer research, botanical innovation, education, and community healing.

Instead of starting from raw land, this acquisition allows us to accelerate years of work immediately.

A short acquisition window now exists. Your support helps transform possibility into reality.
