WELCOME TO KC COMMON GOOD

PROGRAMS

KC 360

A comprehensive, community-based approach to reduce violence, build stronger community relations, increase access to education and jobs and implement responsible justice reforms.

Lansing Correctional Facility

Promoting successful reentry for more than 300 formerly incarcerated individuals each year with the Kansas Department of Corrections and Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce.

Working For Youth

In Collaboration with the Kauffman Foundation’s Real World Learning Initiative, this program pairs Kansas City youth with local employers for paid summer internships.


Good Samaritan Home Equity

Building new homes in the urban core to increase generational wealth through home ownership and thriving neighborhoods.

KC Common Good Fund

Providing financial aid for families struggling with funeral expenses for a loved one who was killed by violence in our community.

2020, 2021, and 2022 were the three most deadly years in Kansas City history. Every single one of these people has loved ones—parents, siblings, children, spouses, friends—whose lives are changed forever because of our violence epidemic. We cannot become numb to our violence problem or shrug our shoulders like this is too big of a problem to solve. Curbing violent crime requires more than just law enforcement-related solutions—and we all have a role to play. I’m proud to collaborate with KC Common Good in our shared mission to create a safer community for all through hope and opportunity.
