MEET LAUREN
Meet Lauren Geniviva, the driving force behind Kinship Gifting. With a background in advertising, Lauren discovered her passion for promoting brands aligned with her values and beliefs. However, it was the loss of her father to ALS in 2018 that sparked a profound shift in her career trajectory. Inspired by the unwavering support and compassion of the ALS community in Pittsburgh during her family's difficult journey, Lauren embarked on a quest to create something deeply meaningful and purpose-driven.
At Kinship Gifting, the phrase "Cause Conscious" isn't just a tagline—it's a guiding principle rooted in Lauren's personal experience. Motivated by the sense of kinship and community her family found amidst adversity, Lauren made it her mission to foster similar connections through thoughtful gifting and support for local makers.
Driven by a desire to give back to the ALS community that provided solace during a challenging time, Kinship Gifting pledges to donate a percentage of its profits to research and care initiatives for ALS in Western PA. Through her dedication to nurturing connections and supporting causes close to her heart, Lauren hopes to empower others to experience the profound sense of kinship that brought comfort to her family in their time of need.
MAKING CONNECTIONS
We connect companies and institutions with local makers and brands for more thoughtful gift giving. With years of experience in the luxury gifting industry, we have the know-how for seamless execution under tight deadlines, with an eye for detail and dedication to sending quality gifts time-after-time. We believe in creativity, attention to detail, style and sophistication. At Kinship we value both the aesthetic of the gift and the ethics behind the brand that made it.
