Kingfield Neighborhood Association (KFNA)

Kingfield Neighborhood Association (KFNA) is made up of your neighbors, and we are proud to be your most local non-profit!

We LOVE Kingfield and know you love everything that makes Kingfield unique too. A significant amount of time and money go into all of our beloved events and initiatives. Historically KFNA was funded almost entirely by the city of Minneapolis, but in recent years we have faced a funding reduction of over 66%.

To keep our events, initiatives, programs, and communications going for years to come we need YOU!

Special free gift! The first 20 people who make a $100+ donation between Nov 1 - Nov 19 will receive a free " I Heart Kingfield" locally printed cotton tote bag. To be delivered in coming weeks by a KFNA board member.

What a big year it has been! Read on for some highlights and happenings in 2026:

Community Organizing 

Connecting with one another took on new urgency and importance when Operation Metro Surge entered the Twin Cities. 

KFNA stands with our immigrant neighbors and took steps to get people the resources they need, organize channels for communication, and gather neighbors for good. Over 800 people attended the emergency community meeting at Bethlehem Lutheran organized by neighbors and KFNA in mid-January. 

KFNA also hosted two Monarca trainings (Nov 2025 & Feb 2026) so neighbors could learn how to best respond and help. 

Block Builders has launched to help get neighbors more hyper-locally connected and introduce new neighbors to the key people on their blocks. This has also helped formalize communication channels to disseminate information quickly if needed.

Focusing on the local community, Empty Bowls in February raised a record amount of money - nearly $20,000. This was distributed back into community programs to support TRUST Inc. Meals on Wheels, Nicollet Square, and TC Food Justice.

Green initiatives

• National Night Out wouldn't be the same without your KFNA board members bike delivering Sebastian Joe's ice cream to your block parties in August!

GOTV

In 2026 Kingfield remained as one of the highest voter turnout neighborhoods in the city. We hope our printed GOTV flyers and informational pamphlets answered all your voting questions and that you hosted a non-partisan yard sign! 

Voting early was a focus this year but if we saw you at MLK Park on election day we hope you enjoyed coffee and treat at one of our polling party tents.

If you value the events and initiatives that KFNA supports and having a volunteer-led board of 13 neighbors to work on issues important to you, please donate to the Kingfield Neighborhood Association today. 

Thank you!

Your 2026 KFNA Board of Directors & Staff
