BELONGING

What is Kinship?

Proximity, mutuality, and loving-kindness.

A circle of compassion where no one is outside the circle.

A place where everybody inhabits their dignity.

Our Mission

The mission of The Kinship Fund is to build the resiliency and wellbeing of women and girls through the financial and capacity-building support of nonprofit organizations.

OUR VALUES

We acknowledge that unbalanced power, bias, and inequity shape our systems, including philanthropy, and we remain committed to redistributing power in service of a more equitable world.

We are here to learn and believe those closest to the issues are best positioned to guide our giving practices.

We focus on relationships, not reports.

We seek to model humility, honesty, and mutual accountability.

We understand trust is built over time and only when we show up to align our actions with our words.
