Greenline FoundatioN

who we are

The Greenline Foundation is dedicated to unlocking the potential of Kansas City’s East Side—a community rich in resilience, diversity, and aspiration. Despite challenges such as limited access to capital for over 70% of small business owners and a lack of affordable commercial spaces, the East Side is poised for transformation. We are committed to creating lasting impact through equitable commercial development, environmental revitalization, and community-centered initiatives that empower residents and foster sustainable growth.

Our work focuses on repurposing underutilized spaces into vibrant hubs that serve the community. Vacant lots are transformed into art, healing, and educational spaces while developments will include cooperative workspaces and entrepreneurial training programs designed to provide local business owners with the tools, resources, and mentorship they need to succeed.

By addressing systemic barriers, we create opportunities for economic empowerment, environmental equity, and increased quality of life for residents.

Through these efforts, we bring safer play areas for children, fresh produce for families, and outdoor meeting spaces that foster creativity and connection. Our holistic approach ensures that economic and environmental revitalization go hand in hand, preserving the identity and aspirations of the East Side while creating pathways for generational wealth and vibrant neighborhoods. At The Greenline Foundation, we’re not just building spaces—we’re building futures.

Revitalize Greenspaces

We maximize our impact by focusing our efforts on forgotten and underutilized spaces, which means your donations and purchases go straight to helping our local communities and neighborhoods.

Hyper-local

We work with and source local talent and landscapers from the surrounding area to complete our renovation projects, so the local business scene can benefit from our collective efforts.

we stay People first always

We do not profit from or monitize the use of the lots we work on, instead our promise is to keep our community greenspaces free for the residents of that area to partake of and participate in, because nature should be free.
