“Every ending writes the first chapter of something new.”
― Shivanshu K. Srivastava

I would like to share some wonderful news; I will be stepping down from my role as Executive Director of The Jake Koenigsdorf Foundation.

Creating and serving this organization has been among the most meaningful chapters of my life. I have had the privilege of working alongside an extraordinary team. Together, we have navigated challenges, celebrated recovery milestones for those we serve, and expanded our mission.

I am proud of what we have built—programs that make a real difference, a culture grounded in compassion and integrity, all achieved by volunteers.

I am committed to ensuring a smooth and thoughtful transition. I will still be of service, though my role will be quite different. Joshua Gray and Chris Catalano will be taking my place as co-directors. Their energy, education, and experience will take the JKF into the future!

Thank you for the trust, collaboration, and shared commitment that have made this journey so meaningful.

With deep gratitude,

Kathy Koenigsdorf
Executive Director (Outgoing)
The Jake Koenigsdorf Foundation
