Portrait of Kyna Jones, founder of More Than a Dream Foundation

Kyna Jones is the founder of More Than a Dream Foundation.

Kyna Jones, a Tampa, Florida native, is an entrepreneur and community advocate with a heart for helping others. Her own journey, life experiences, and determination to build a better future have shaped her passion for giving back and creating opportunities for those who may need additional support.

Kyna believes everyone deserves access to resources, encouragement, and opportunities to succeed, regardless of where they come from or the challenges they have faced. Through her nonprofit work, she is committed to empowering individuals and families, strengthening communities, and helping others turn their dreams into real possibilities.

What began as a deep conviction — that a dream, on its own, should never be all a person has — became a mission: to make sure opportunity reaches the people who need it most. Under Kyna's leadership, the foundation connects individuals and families with the resources, education, mentorship, and support — the practical building blocks of brighter futures.

“Dream big.”
— Kyna Jones
