    Joanie Kriens
    Co-Creator
    Joanie is a philanthropist and co-creator of 1440 Foundation, 1440 Multiversity, and the Canopy Cancer Collective. For more than two decades, she has worked with nonprofits helping students and educators increase self-awareness, reduce stress, and learn mindfulness. Her foundational efforts launched some of the first school-based social and emotional learning programs in the United States. In 2017, Joanie was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. During her battle, she witnessed deep disconnects among patients, healthcare providers, and potentially life-saving trials. But with hope, innovation, and collaboration, cancer survivors can become cancer thrivers. That is "hope for living well." That is Joanie's vision for 1440 Foundation.
