Your Questions, Answered with Care.

What is Little Palms Foundation?

Little Palms Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering children and expanding access to healthcare services across tropical regions. Through two core pillars—Child Development and the Palms Healthcare Fund—we help ensure that no child’s potential or family’s health is limited by geography, affordability, or lack of infrastructure.

Where does Little Palms Foundation work?

We serve communities throughout the tropics, focusing on areas where educational and healthcare access is most limited. While our current programs are primarily concentrated in tropical island nations, our mission extends to all regions within the Tropics.

When was the foundation established?

Little Palms Foundation was founded in 2019 in North Carolina, United States.

What does the name “Little Palms” mean?

“Little Palms” reflects both the nurturing symbol of a palm—a tree that thrives in tropical environments—and the belief that small, caring actions can grow into something strong and lasting.

What are the foundation’s main programs?

Our work is organized around two core pillars:

• Child Development – Early learning and holistic growth initiatives that give children in tropical regions a stronger start in life.
• Palms Healthcare Fund – A philanthropic fund that provides access to healthcare services, including medical subsidies, emergency air ambulance support, and telehealth solutions.

What is Teko the Turtle?

Teko the Turtle is a comfort companion for children who must travel long distances for medical treatment. Each Teko plush includes a story tag, bandana, and travel journal, providing courage and comfort throughout their journey. Proceeds from this campaign directly support the Palms Healthcare Fund.

How does the foundation measure its impact?

Impact is measured through clear, transparent metrics: number of children reached through early learning initiatives, number of patients supported through medical subsidies, and healthcare accessibility improvements achieved through partnerships and telehealth expansion.
