The organization's sole purpose is to support educational programs and events that align with literary, artistic, and scientific goals, enhancing the student experience through the active participation and volunteer efforts of staff, parents, and the community. Friends of Kinzie was created in July to support the Kinzie School Community, operating as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) non-profit where donations are tax-deductible.

The organization focuses on initiatives such as supporting after-school and extracurricular programming for the 2025-2026 school year and beyond, and raising funds for the Kinzie community to build resources for students. Past efforts have successfully raised over $30,000, demonstrating the community's commitment to funding necessary programs for the children.
