Knox blocks is partnered with owlet baby care providing a health and wellness monitor to families across the country. As the infant wears the owlet while they sleep it provides parents with peace of mind. Knox blocks has provided over 8,000 monitors to families in all 50 states.
Knowing how important it is to have eyes on your infant at all times we also know this isn't possible. Especially in a daycare environment. Because of this we have launched the green glow project, providing all licensed and registered daycare centers and in-home providers with owlets for all infants in their care in the state of iowa.
Every year wehold our annual nursery of hope. We provide infant loss families with a tree to plant in honor of their little one that left this world too soon.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More
The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.
Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.
We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.
Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.
If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.
Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.
If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
