KFNA Mission Statement

The KFNA Board demonstrates and encourages neighborhood leadership, provides a forum for community participation, and a structure to promote the vision and aspiration of the neighborhood.

KFNA Guiding Principles

  • Responsible Stewardship of all monies entrusted to the neighborhood.
  • Systematic and periodic identification of neighborhood priorities.
  • Providing forum for communication and dissemination of community issues, concerns and information.
  • Encouragement of increased participation reflecting the diversity of the neighborhood, especially by under-represented groups.
  • Building capacity and infrastructure of neighborhood by cultivating and facilitating leaders at all levels of the neighborhood.
  • Advocate for the neighborhood’s interest in dealing with other entities (i.e. city Hall, other neighbors, the State, CCP/Safe, etc.).
  • Actively promote a positive sense of community in the neighborhood.

KFNA’s Diversity & Inclusion Statement (adopted March 2020)

KFNA is committed to being an equitable and inclusive organization that reflects the diversity and many identities in our neighborhood. We are stronger as an organization when we have a broad vision that includes diverse voices, ways of knowing, and ways of doing. We are committed to taking action to realize this vision. KFNA specifically seeks to foster the leadership and participation of people who neighborhood organizations have historically underinvested in. This includes people who rent, and people who identify as BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of color), LGBTQ+, youth, and seniors.
