• Plan an Event, or Host Your Own Fund-raiser: You may not realize this, but volunteering your time to help us puts you in an elite group of remarkable people. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, only about 28.8% of the population, age 16 or over, volunteers any of their time to helping others. Our hosts are extra special heroes to us, and we call them "Hosts With Heart" because they realize our foundation has limited human resources, and requires donations to exist and fulfill its mission.

• Children's Fund-raiser. Kids For Courage: Be a Kids For Courage volunteer. It allows children to help other children. They do it all – organize, raise funds and manage their program with support from parent or teacher advisors. This hands on experience allows them to see first hand how they can impact the lives of others. An opportunity to have lots of fun, and enhance their own personal character development.

  As a Kid For Courage volunteer, you can partner with Kids With Courage and coordinate a fund-raiser at your school, church or within your group.

• Named Scholarship Opportunities: Major donors are those who contribute profound gifts that have a magnitude of impact in the lives of our children and young people. Major donors realize that the future of our communities, and our country, lies in the hands of our children, America's valuable treasures and most important assets, and all children should have the chance to grow up as healthy, productive and caring people. They have the desire and means to share their gift of wealth.

  The Kids With Courage Foundation honors major donors with a legacy of a Named Scholarship. It is up to each donor to decide how they want to help the Kids With Courage Foundation accomplish its mission. Whichever type of donation you choose, you are bringing encouragement, hope, strength and joy into the lives of courageous children. The foundation recognizes several levels of annual and lifetime giving to the Kids With Courage Foundation.
