Laura Kind McKenna and The Patricia Kind Family Foundation
The Race Toward More Impactful Philanthropy
Abstract
After 17 years at the helm of the Patricia Kind Family Foundation, Laura Kind McKenna is poised to step down as Managing Trustee, passing the baton to her sister and fellow Trustee, Christina Kind. In a recent interview, I spoke with Laura about her trailblazing strategy and tireless advocacy for mission-aligned investing. While others in philanthropy are talking in circles about accountability and metrics, Laura is calling attention to the real problems: inaction and missed opportunities. She candidly shared with me the challenges that she has faced along her journey, what inspires her work, and how she hopes to shape the philanthropic sector in Philadelphia and beyond.
