Kingfield Cookie Swap, 2020!

December 11, 2020 By Sarah

Saturday, December 12 (Registration due in by 10 AM, 12/12/20! https://forms.gle/yJLXPNZmwrCEY9CW7)

Smaller gatherings this holiday season means less baking (like seriously, who really wants 12 dozen cookies in your house?!) But it is nice to get a taste of all the holiday favorites, so this challenging year KFNA is excited to offer a cookie swap!

Sign up here to participate by baking and exchanging cookies on SATURDAY DECEMBER 12. To make sure those homebound by COVID concerns or quarantine also get a touch of kindness at the holidays, you can also register a neighbor to receive cookies.

10-11:30 AM OUTDOOR drop-off / 12-2 PM SCHEDULED pick-up at 3537 Nicollet Avenue South

December 10, 2020 By Sarah

KFNA Still seeking Block Contacts on Some Blocks!

November 20, 2020 By Sarah

KFNA needs a Block Contact willing to be our connection on every block. This person will figure out how to print and deliver written communications, as needed, and also work to collect contact information for every household on their block so no one is left out. During the COVID-19 pandemic it is critical that we can reach people quickly, and not have to rely on the internet or the US Postal Service. Sign up here if you can serve in this role for the coming year 2021: bit.ly/KingfieldBlockContact; if your block already has a contact we will connect you to them, and if not, you will serve as KFNA’s block contact!

If you signed up as a Block Contact in early 2020 to assist with sharing information regarding COVID-19 and you have moved, or need to pass the responsibility to another neighbor, please notify KFNA at info@kingfield.org.

KFNA is an organizing organization. Support KFNA Directly this week with any size donation this week as part of Give to the Max.

November 17, 2020 By Sarah

We are not a “homeowners association” or a membership organization. Everyone in Kingfield belongs to KFNA. Our work is often low visibility, behind the scenes, and focused on supporting community members. In these uncertain times this support is critical. Yet the reality is that the city of Minneapolis is facing significant budget pressures and KFNA’s financial support will be cut significantly over the next several years. To continue to exist in our current capacity, we need donations and engagement from you, as neighbors and stakeholders.

Please consider a financial donation to allow KFNA to continue to be an active community builder and voice at the table. Every dollar helps. Support KFNA Directly this week with any size donation this week as part of Give to the Max.

Neighborhoods 2020 Guidelines Approved by City Council–but what good will it due without the funding to back it up?

November 17, 2020 By Sarah

The City Council has approved Neighborhoods 2020 program guidelines for equity, funding, and governance among City-supported neighborhood organizations. These guidelines are designed to preserve neighborhood organizations and create equitable communities in which all people are valued, all communities are engaged, and leadership mirrors the diversity of the city. Under the approved plan, there are equitable engagement funds available to each neighborhood which are allocated based on an equity formula developed by CURA and total program funding and base level funding for each neighborhood organization will be discussed through the City’s budget process.

The current proposal provides less than .25 of 1% of the entire City budget to be divided between the 70 Minneapolis neighborhood associations.
