Champions of Kinship
Building a Place for Kinship is led by people who believe deeply in our city and in what's possible when we invest in one another. From our staff and board to our campaign leadership and community partners, this campaign is carried by people who've seen the Kinship model change lives and who are ready to help it reach thousands more. We are deeply grateful for their conviction, trust, and generosity.
