Front Porch Alliance is a 17-year old nonprofit agency located at Linwood and Bruce R. Watkins Drive, in the Ivanhoe neighborhood of Kansas City, Missouri. Begun as an intentional partnership with Ivanhoe residents, FPA’s original goals were to address broad community needs of safety and improved life quality. After many years of events and programs to serve all ages and interests, Front Porch has refocused its vision to better meet an important neighborhood priority – preparing children and families for their future.
