How was the KP Partnership formed?
The KP Partnership project was the result of many community leaders coming together with a major funder in 2015 to find a way to make a bigger impact. The idea of an asset-based community organization came together. Initially fiscally sponsored by the KP Community Council, the KP Partnership grew in scope and was granted its own 501c3 status in 2020. It is now in its 8th year under the leadership of Ben and Susan Paganelli along with a dedicated Board of Directors.
