Craig's father taught him the importance of giving back to others in need. Personally and through his business interests, Craig has made significant contributions to many important causes including:
The Andes Children's Foundation - Founded in 2003 by Craig Keeland, this foundation provides much needed support for the schools and school children of Vilcabamba, Ecuador - a village high in the Andes Mountains. Without the support of funds from the Andes Children's Foundation, the children of Vilcabamba would suffer a severely limited education. The ACF ensures that these children WILL have a Bright Future.

When Hurricane Katrina hit the US Gulf Coast in 2005, Craig led in making a significant financial contribution to assist displaced residents. This support helped victims of one of the worst natural disasters in US history to begin the process of rebuilding their lives. Click here to see more.
