Since its beginning, Kinship House has been fortunate to receive a significant part of its funding from local foundations including the Grace Episcopal Church, Frost-Parker,  Randolph J. and Estelle M. Dorn Foundation, Mylander Foundation, Wightman Wieber Foundation, Community Endeavors, Stein Foundation and The Erie County Community Foundation.  We continue to depend on the generosity of these foundations, local churches and individuals to fund our mission. Kinship House has been a United Way Agency since 2006.
