Throughout the previous year, the Patricia Kind Family Foundation was led by Strategy Arts through a strategic planning process. In January 2023, the board approved a three-year Strategic Plan for the Foundation that emerged from a stakeholder inclusive, in-depth decision-making process.  The Patricia Kind Family Foundation looked three years into the future as we considered our vision for the foundation. PKFF’s commitment to direct service grants will remain the emphasis of our grant-making. Additionally, we agreed on four areas to form an expanded vision which included capacity building, coalition building, advocacy, and trustee and staff development. These focus areas are intended to supplement and enrich PKFF’s commitment to direct service grants. 
Thank you for being part of this process. We are excited about the changes and look forward to presenting a full update in early summer 2023.

   Build Your Board to Ensure Mission Achievement, May 24, 2023

Having an effective board is one of the most important ways to ensure the long-term success of your organization. Yet finding and recruiting board members is one of the most difficult challenges for many nonprofits. Often board recruitment is addressed as needed, rather than strategically. Joined by a panel of executive directors and board members, we will examine how to consider your organization’s ongoing and long-term needs to create a framework and build a board best suited to meet your organization's goals.
