Host an Event or Fundraiser that Supports Kids and Families

Bring people together around something you love and make a real difference for kids and families.

When you host a fundraiser for Kinship House, you’re helping ensure that children and families navigating foster care and adoption have access to mental health services. You’re also helping raise awareness about the importance of supporting children in our community.

There’s no one “right” way to do this. Some people host dinners or birthday fundraisers, others partner with their business, organize game nights, or create something totally their own. If it matters to you, it can make an impact here.

To get started, we ask that all third-party fundraisers review our guidelines. This packet walks through everything you need to know, including expectations, branding, and how we can support you along the way.

If you have an idea you’d like to explore, please email us at development@kinshiphouse.org. We’d love to hear what you’re thinking and can help you shape it into something that works.

If you’d rather submit something offline, you can also download a PDF version and send it to:
