Kinship United is a worldwide Christian rescue operation headquartered in Rolling Meadows, IL. This is a volunteer position that thrills the person who 'just knows’ this is what God would want them to do.
You can have an incredible impact on the lives of orphans and widows. If you are a digital detective who would love to scour up information to help us rescue refugee children who don’t have anyone to care for them, come on board. You’ll be using a database of foundations to find just the right ones to help us with medical issues, education, child rescue, emergency response, and all the things our rescue teams to give these lost kids back their childhoods. Google will be a treasure trove of ideas of how you can find people and resources. You don’t have to do this, but if you can get on the phone and meet some of the people, we’re all up for relationships.
We are looking for someone to work with us for a good four months, approximately 15-20 hours per week in our Rolling Meadows office.
Essential Functions:
- Research foundations by various criteria using Foundation Search and Foundation Center online and Google.
- Enter foundation information into Salesforce database.
- Call foundations to verify foundation information and/or gain additional information.
Training will be provided for all of the listed databases, but experience and knowledge of fundraising and grant writing is a plus.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to unite people separated by war and tragedy, rebuild loving families for orphans and widows, and create networks of local churches and rescue centers.
Description
Established in 1999, Kinship United (formerly Warm Blankets Orphan Care) has blossomed into a thriving ministry across three continents working with six Founders and partnering with over 200 indigenous Kinship Church Homes. We established hundreds of projects and Christian homes for thousands of children and women who came to us with nothing but the shirt on their backs.
We rescue children without parents, many of whom have come from natural disasters or war zones, that don’t have anyone or any place to turn to for protection and love.
We lead and resource Christian churches established to partner with Kinship United in tragedy burdened parts of the world. Together we find the neediest of the needy and bring them new life, hope and dignity. Our services to these ministries are building projects, mission assistance, fundraising resources, Evangelism tools, medical supplies, education assistance, food, clothing and shelter. Our primary goal is to provide immediate protection for children and women from the situations that put their lives in jeopardy in the first place. Once they are safe, the next step is to address any nutrition and health issues. Once lives are stabilized, we begin the process of giving them a sense of lasting security. In short order, these children, widows, lost mothers, and caregiving volunteers are either reunited with families, place in homes or brought together with others like them to form a forever family in one of our Church Homes. We restore childhoods.
