A Legacy of Impact

Since its founding in 1995, FIFNC has partnered with community organizations, local businesses, and individual supporters to create pathways for independence and inclusion. By honoring self-defined needs and amplifying voices within the disability community, FIFNC has transformed lives and strengthened communities throughout the state.

“Our mission has always been about listening first, then working hand in hand with families to meet real needs,” said a FIFNC board representative at the summit. “From helping a parent secure adaptive equipment for their child, to connecting adults with employment opportunities, to supporting caregivers with resources, we have spent 30 years building a culture of dignity, trust, and resilience.”

30th Anniversary Summit

The anniversary summit in Durham brought together families, advocates, professionals, and community partners to reflect on past achievements and discuss the future of inclusive support in North Carolina. The event featured keynote speakers, panel discussions, and networking sessions that highlighted innovation in disability services and community collaboration.

Participants shared stories of how FIFNC’s programs have shaped their lives, emphasizing the ripple effect of empowerment when families are supported in achieving their goals. The summit also recognized the contributions of volunteers, donors, and partner organizations whose dedication has fueled FIFNC’s growth over the decades.

Welcoming New Leadership

A central moment of the summit was the announcement of FIFNC’s next Executive Director, Kathryn Bunn. Bunn brings extensive experience in nonprofit leadership and a strong commitment to advancing equity, inclusion, and opportunities for individuals with disabilities.

“We are thrilled to welcome Kathryn as the next leader of First in Families,” said the FIFNC Board of Directors. “Her vision and dedication to community-driven solutions will carry forward our mission with energy and purpose.”

Bunn expressed gratitude for the opportunity to lead during such a pivotal moment in the organization’s history. “First in Families has built an incredible legacy of impact,” she said. “I look forward to working with families, staff, and partners across North Carolina to strengthen that foundation and expand opportunities for connection, empowerment, and growth.”

Looking Ahead

As FIFNC enters its fourth decade, the organization plans to expand its efforts in areas such as technology access, employment readiness, and community inclusion initiatives. By leveraging lessons learned over the past 30 years and engaging new partners, FIFNC aims to reach even more families with innovative and responsive support.

“Our journey is far from over,” added the board representative. “The needs of families evolve, but our commitment remains the same: to empower individuals with disabilities and their loved ones to thrive in communities where everyone belongs.”
