Changing our world one relationship at a time
We are committed to living our value of transparency so you can be confident your contributions are being used as you intend!
sustainable giving makes it easy to have an ongoing impact
Did you know that for the cost of a weekly coffee shop latte, in one year, you can provide background checks for 20 volunteers? The price of your vanilla soy caffeine fix has a bigger impact that you can imagine, and being a sustaining donor is easy! You set up the donations online yourself, so we never have your banking information, and you determine the monthly giving. Every bit helps, and sustainable giving help make budgeting and future planning easier for you and Kinship!Â
Yes, coffee is so good, but the lattes you don’t buy will help make a child’s life a little brighter.

partnering with kinship is good for kids and your business
When we receive support of any kind, it’s not merely a financial transaction to us- it’s personal. We know your hard-earned dollars can go anywhere, and when you choose to direct then toward Kinship’s youth mentoring programs, we take that seriously. We want our relationships with our donors, of all levels, to be more than simply transactional. Kinship is about partnerships, and we want to honor our relationship with you at the highest level.
We have many opportunities for your business to customize your partnership with us – from your logo on youth t-shirts, new technology for staff, technology training, and more! In return, we’ll show your business some love through marketing opportunities. To learn more about corporate partnerships, contact our Executive Director at 218.454.8013 or amyg@kinshippartners.org.

SPONSOR A GROUP, A SCHOOL, OR THE entire PROGRAM
Providing corporate (or individual) support for Lunch Buddies has never been easier. Sponsoring a single year-long session or an entire school will ensure our volunteers have background checks, we can provide lunch for mentors, and our partnerships have activities to increase engagement and connection. Your business would have your name attached to that part of the program for the current school year and would be promoted on-site, through donor communications, and on social media.
To learn more about how you can sponsor Lunch Buddies, contact our Executive Director at 218.454.8013.Â
