About Us

Family Promise of Spokane equips families and the Spokane Community to end the cycle of homelessness. We believe no child should ever experience homelessness. We’re a growing nonprofit with over 50 employees and are funded through grants, contracts, and community support.

Our culture is grounded in:

• Radical Empathy:
  We step into someone else’s shoes without judgment and meet people with dignity, humility, and deep listening.
• Collaborative Stewardship:
  We honor every dollar, every volunteer, and every partner by working together with trust, transparency, and accountability.
• Curious Accountability:
  We ask questions, seek to understand, and own our impact, good or bad. We learn out loud and welcome accountability as a path to excellence.
• Intentional Innovation:
  We don’t just react; we design. We take smart risks, use data and feedback, and always ask how to do it better.
• Compassionate Competitiveness:
  We care deeply, and also compete to lead, innovate, and deliver better outcomes. We are driven by purpose and love.
