Kelly Sawyer Patricof is the Co-CEO of Baby2Baby, a national nonprofit that provides children living in poverty with the basic essentials they deserve. Since 2011, Kelly has led the expansion of Baby2Baby alongside Co-CEO Norah Weinstein, providing over 375 million critical items to children in need. The organization serves more than one million children every year across all 50 states.

Kelly has spoken at the Fast Company Innovation Festival and Forbes 30/50 Summit, as well as alongside lawmakers on the need to implement safety net policies for families, like the Child Tax Credit.

Kelly and the Baby2Baby team have innovated their own diaper manufacturing system, allowing the organization to produce diapers for 80% less than the retail price, earning them recognition as the most innovative nonprofit in the world by Fast Company.

Kelly’s impetus for driving the mission behind Baby2Baby stems from her work at the New York-based nonprofit Northside Center for Child Development. Kelly has had a thriving career as a model in the fashion industry, and her extensive network has been instrumental in creating support and awareness of Baby2Baby's work.
