About Us 

NoVo in Kingston is a branch of the NoVo Foundation, responsible for stewarding the Foundation’s local grantmaking and special projects in the Kingston, N.Y. area, with a focus on Midtown Kingston. Like the NoVo Foundation, NoVo in Kingston is committed to centering the needs of the most historically and continuously marginalized.

Our Philosophy 

While our work and the work of our grantee partners encompass a wide range of initiatives, NoVo’s guiding tenets are a compassionate view of the world and the highest definition of philanthropy—in the roots of the words anthro and philo – “for the love of human beings.” The only way to create real change is with love at the center.

We recognize the inherent power and privilege of philanthropy, and strive to act as thoughtful stewards. We value the long-term partnerships and relationships we have built in Kingston, and we recognize that meaningful progress is only achieved in relationship with others.
