THE PARNELL-KHAN FOUNDATION

Hamza Khan and his partner Bailey Parnell believe in "building as you rise" and that philanthropy is a value that needs to be exercised at every stage. The Parnell-Khan Foundation is the extension of our desire to make our communities and our work a better place for future generations. Whether we have a lot or a little, we aim to give some portion of that to causes like the ones below. 

CAUSES

EDUCATION REFORM

Education should be holistic, widely available, decolonized, diversified, hands-on, and empowering for all, no matter who is in government.

ACCESS TO EDUCATION

The right to education, especially for women, can change the course of entire communities. Education should be accessible to all.

HUMANIZING WORK

Sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work should be accessible to all.
