We couldn’t do half our work without a whole community of partners & funders.
Featured Partner
NeighborWorks America
NeighborWorks America is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization chartered by the United States Congress in 1978. Its network of over 245 member organizations—including NKCDC—spans all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
NeighborWorks creates opportunities for people to live in affordable homes, improve their lives and strengthen their communities. It builds the skills, supplements the funding and amplifies the reach of organizations like NKCDC so we can leverage additional resources to achieve our mission.
NKCDC and NeighborWorks America
NKCDC is proud to be a NeighborWorks charter member since 2001. For us, NeighborWorks has provided staff development at NeighborWorks Training Institutes, and has advanced community leaders at the Community Leadership Institute. Kensington leader Gloria Cartagena won NeighborWorks’ national Dorothy Richardson Award in 2018 and is now a commercial corridor manager NKCDC. When our executive director, Felix Torres-Colon, died suddenly in 2020, the NeighborWorks network provided both community support and technical assistance for our executive search.
“One of the primary reasons I joined NKCDC was their organization-wide commitment to addressing trauma and racial equity,” Executive Director Dr. Bill McKinney said soon after he was hired. “I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the vast majority of training and support the organization has received in those areas have come through NeighborWorks America.”
