Providing or aligning resources so every Northern Nevada child can thrive since 2003. |

Dear Friend of For Kids Foundation,
For twenty incredible years, we've been the hidden heroes for Northern Nevada's children. We catch those precious lives that slip through society's safety nets, turning tragedy into transformation. Imagine thousands of children now thriving — all because you chose to care.
This year, the drumbeat of need has grown louder with a staggering 13% increase in applications for assistance. It's a desperate call to action. Families are not just struggling; they're in crisis.
And we refuse to let them face it alone.
You may remember Isabella (name changed), whom we introduced last year. Struggling with a myriad of issues including anxiety, depression, and substance abuse, her future seemed bleak. Thanks to your generous donations, we funded the urgent mental health care she desperately needed. Today, Isabella is not just surviving; she's on her path to thriving, with dreams of becoming a nurse.
As we ring in two decades of transformative work, we invite you to support our Program. It's more than a donation; it's a lifeline.
Your help means the world to us, but to a child, it means the universe. Please visit ForKidsFoundation.org/donate to make a secure online donation, scan the below QR code, or simply mail a check. Every cent counts, every child matters.
With profound gratitude,
Annie Goni-Stewart
Executive Director For Kids Foundation
P.S. Isabella is set to graduate high school in 2024 and is committed to attending nursing school. A life, once at the brink, is now full of promise, and it's all thanks to you.

20th Anniversary Celebration |
|
Our Board of Directors welcomed 100+ community friends and supporters to Sparks Water Bar on October 19, 2023, to celebrate 20 years serving the children of Northern Nevada.
Over tasty appetizers and drinks, we shared our forever steadfast 20-year Mission of For Kids Foundation:
Serving as a safety net for children who fall through the cracks, For Kids Foundation provides one-time funding for the unmet needs of Northern Nevada children (from birth to age 21) when there is no other known resource available.
We also introduced the Edwards Family, who have endured unimaginable pain, turmoil, and arduous medical intervention following a motor vehicle v. pedestrian accident several years ago, changing their lives forever. Thankfully, with financial support from our donors, we were able to assist with their child's rehabilitation.

Our kids need your support now, more than ever. We are on track to receive 400 applications for assistance this year--each story more compelling than the previous.
Lastly, if you ever know a Northern Nevada child with an urgent, unmet need (health, wellbeing, or educational), please encourage them to apply for assistance.
