A note on fees: Givebutter includes an optional platform tip and a processing fee at checkout. These are added on top of your gift amount — not taken out of it — so your full gift always goes directly to Kinship House. If you'd prefer not to cover them, simply select "Do not cover" when prompted about the processing fee and enter 0 for the Givebutter tip.

KH Unplugged is our way of bringing the Portland community together to raise awareness for children and families impacted by foster care. Since 2022, we've hosted this free annual concert, bringing together local musicians, food vendors, and art vendors to create a space where neighbors, advocates, and supporters can unite around a cause that touches countless lives across our region.

For over thirty years, our low-barrier supports have been a key intervention in the pathway to children building permanency and stability for a healthy, vibrant future. Since day one we have provided services to all children and families, regardless of ability to pay and length of services required, and we’ve done so out of a house. By creating a consistent, home-like environment we embody our trauma-informed approach from the moment a child turns the door knob.

In 1996, five therapists and a state child welfare manager identified the pressing need in our community to empower children in foster care in a way that did not yet exist. Today, our programming has grown to a 20+ person staff, collaborates with countless community partners, and serves over 300 children annually. Much has changed over the years, what has not changed is Kinship House’s dedication to bringing health and joy back into the lives of each child that walks through our door.
