About Us
The Kinship Foundation is a charitable organization committed to providing food and hands-on education to those in need. We strive to ensure that no one goes hungry and that all children have access to the best educational opportunities.
We believe that by providing these basic necessities, we can help create a better tomorrow for our communities. Our mission is simple:
We are committed to nourishing the hungry and uplifting our neighbors, building a stronger, more compassionate community together.”
What we do
We Feed
At The Kinship Foundation, our mission is simple yet profound: to provide a hot meal for the needy. We believe that a warm, nourishing meal can do more than just satisfy hunger—it can offer hope, dignity, and comfort to those facing adversity.
With every meal we serve, we aim to make a tangible difference in the lives of individuals experiencing homelessness and food insecurity.
Through our unwavering dedication and the support of our community, we strive to bring warmth and sustenance to those who need it most, one meal at a time.
We Pray and Uplift
At The Kinship Foundation, our mission extends beyond providing physical nourishment to those in need. We understand that spiritual support is equally essential, especially for individuals who may not have access to a church.
That’s why we’re dedicated to offering prayers for those facing challenges, regardless of their ability to attend traditional religious services.
Our commitment to praying for those in need reflects our belief in the power of faith and community to bring comfort and healing to all.
We Build Networks
he Kinship Foundation is on a mission to strengthen the Tulsa, Oklahoma community by building meaningful partnerships with other nonprofit organizations. At the heart of our work is a deep commitment to collaboration, as we firmly believe that together, we can achieve far more than any single entity can alone.
By leveraging our collective resources, expertise, and networks, the Kinship Foundation is poised to create lasting, positive change for the people of Tulsa. Through strategic alliances with like-minded nonprofits, we will amplify our impact, share best practices, and find innovative solutions to the pressing challenges facing our community.
Collaboration is not just a buzzword for us – it is a guiding principle that infuses every aspect of our operations. We recognize that the most effective path forward requires a spirit of openness, trust, and a willingness to put aside individual agendas for the greater good. It is this collaborative mindset that will allow the Kinship Foundation to truly fulfill its mission and build a stronger, more resilient Tulsa for all.

Through strategic initiatives and collaborative efforts, we strive to make a meaningful impact on individuals and communities in need.
