Keene Housing Kids Collaborative

What Keene Housing Kids Collaborative does

Keene Housing Kids Collaborative (KHKC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2014 and headquartered in Keene, New Hampshire. It serves children living in affordable housing in Keene, Swanzey, and Winchester, with eligibility tied to residence in Keene Housing units, Southern NH Services (SCS) housing, or households holding a Housing Choice Voucher. The organization operates as an embedded partner of the local housing authority rather than a standalone service provider.

KHKC's core programs are youth enrichment, out-of-school and summer learning, and the Kids Collaborative Sports Bank, which provides sports equipment to participating children. Programs are delivered free of charge to eligible families and are co-located with Keene Housing and SAU29 school sites, with referrals routed through the housing authority and The Collaborators after-school network. There is no underlying technology product, platform, or software component; service delivery is community-based and relationship-driven.

The revenue model is philanthropic, not commercial. KHKC is funded through individual donations, planned giving, Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs), donor-advised funds, and grants. The organization is led by a single full-time Executive Director (Sally Malay, since January 2022) and a volunteer board of community leaders, and is currently hiring a part-time Development & Outreach Coordinator. It has earned a 4-star Charity Navigator rating, a 2025 Platinum Candid Seal of Transparency, and a 2024 recognition from U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen on its 10-year anniversary.
