 Kumpuris was a prominent local booster for the proposed Clinton Library site on the east side of downtown. He began working on site selection for the library on April 15, 1997, seven years before the dedication took place in 2004. With his brother and sister Kumpuris also established a $500,000 endowment for the Frank and Kula Kumpuris Distinguished Lecture Series at the [[Clinton School of Public Service]] in honor of his parents. He also raised more than $309,000 in private donations for the [[Sculpture Promenade]] from the front steps of the Library to the [[River Market District]].
-Kumpuris worked closely with city officials and downtown developer [[Jimmy Moses]] to establish the River Market. The $3.5 million market complex was approved by taxpayers as part of the sweeping 1995 [[River Project]], proposed to mitigate the economic effects of decrepit warehouse and industrial brownfield areas along both the north and south banks of the Arkansas River, expand the [[Statehouse Convention Center]] on Markham Street, and build [[ALLTEL Arena]] in North Little Rock.

In 1995 Kumpuris called the project "a prime example of the way our city can accomplish great things when we work together."
 He is the originator of [[Arkansas Commitment]], a college preparation and scholarship consortium for promising black high school students.
