HOW WE MAKE AN IMPACT
Kind to Kids Foundation serves children
who are victims of abuse, neglect, and
poverty. As Delaware’s leading nonprofi t
for the education of foster children, our
programs enable children to acquire the
skills needed to grow into productive young
adults. We deliver an excellent 97% high
school graduation rate! Since 2011, Kind to
Kids has helped over 18,000 children in need.
Kind to Kids gives vulnerable children and
youth the skills, guidance, and love they need to succeed in life.
GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
Your charitable donation provides direct support to children who are victims
of child abuse, neglect, and trauma. With a donation of $40 you can give
a “My Blue Duffel” emergency care kit to a child overcoming trauma and
entering foster care. A $500 annual donation provides a foster child with
a private tutor to succeed in school. Your endowment will change the
lives of our community’s most vulnerable children.
