Sponsorship
Power the Village
Your sponsorship sustains equitable, community-centered perinatal care across Greater Rochester.
Why Sponsor Kindred Connection
Kindred Connection is a community directory and collaboration hub for perinatal services—connecting families to trusted local professionals, mutual-aid resources (like Joan’s Closet), and education. Your support keeps our listings accessible, our programs free or low-cost, and our mutual-aid moving.
What Your Impact Funds
Free directory access and navigation support for families
Joan’s Closet: maternity, nursing, and infant clothing at no cost
Community events, resource fairs, and support groups
Inclusive outreach (BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, TGNB, and underserved neighborhoods)
Kindred Connection was built to connect families to trusted local perinatal professionals and resources.
Many of our affiliates are solo practitioners — primary earners, parents, and community advocates — often providing services at reduced rates to make care accessible.
By becoming a sponsor, your business supports this vital ecosystem. Our goal is to remove the financial burden of membership fees for small practices and instead fund Kindred Connection through community sponsorships.
This approach shifts away from a capitalistic “subscription fee” model toward a collective investment in our shared mission: connecting, supporting, and uplifting perinatal families and the professionals who care for them.
This directly benefits the solo professionals providing essential perinatal services in our community and helps foster relationships between larger organizations and the independent providers they often refer to.
