The Kinsman Foundation
Board of Directors and Staff
Board of Directors
The Foundation Directors, in addition to typical legal and organizational responsibilities, make all grant decisions. They meet in September to decide most of the year’s grants, and throughout the year review materials and decide small grants. The Foundation is pleased to have these family and community members:
Keith Kinsman, President
Keith is an original director of the Foundation and has been employed as its full time Chief Executive Officer since 2001.
Pamela Reynolds, Vice President and Treasurer
Pamela began accounting work for John Kinsman in 1996 and gave up a successful small business in 2001 to join the Foundation.
Jack Schwab, Secretary
Jack joined the Foundation board in 2001 as an adjunct to a career as a lawyer and development officer. He is employed by the University of Portland.
Paige Kinsman, Director
After many years in the arts and owning a small business, Paige joined the board in 2005 from her (adoptive) home in California.
Shelley Bailey, Director
Shelley became a board member in 2006. She works in social services after a career in the legal field.
