How does Care for Kids select the organizations it supports?

Care for Kids is committed to supporting organizations that focus primarily on children’s welfare. Our selection process includes several key criteria:

  1. The organization must have a child-centric approach, placing the needs of children at the heart of their mission.
  2. The organization must hold a valid 501(c)(3) status, which ensures they are a registered nonprofit.
  3. It’s essential for us to have a local impact. Thus, the organization must be based in Lucas County, and the funds provided should directly support Lucas County’s children.
  4. Lastly, we insist that 100% of our grant money goes towards programming for children. We ensure that every cent we provide is put to direct use for the welfare of the children.

This approach helps us ensure that the charities and nonprofits we support align with our mission of creating a positive impact on the lives of the children in our community.
