Generosity

Genesis Mediation is committed to creating peace and helping others around the world. A percentage of all gross revenues from Genesis Mediation is targeted to help children, both locally and globally. We have partnered with Kindred Partners in Portland and NCompass in Haiti.

Kindred Partners provides unique opportunities for those in crisis to support vulnerable children and families. The goal is keeping children out of foster care.

Ncompass is providing quality education, alongside a nutrition program for hundreds of children in Haiti. Of those is a small portion supported by Genesis.
