Yes! I want to stop abuse and help kids thrive.
Thanks to your generous support, we can continue to rebuild childhoods and foster successful futures for kinship and foster youth.
Kids Matter makes a difference in the lives of foster and kinship children by:
- Helping them find safe, permanent homes
- Supporting parents, grandparents and community members who help prevent child abuse
- Provide trauma support to help children heal if they have been abused
- Challenge systems to focus on helping children thrive – rather than simply relocating them if they have experienced abuse or trauma. Hear from our kids and families.

At work
Many workplaces coordinate charitable giving campaigns for their employees. These campaigns allow employees to donate to charities of their choice through one-time gifts and regular payroll deductions. Locally, you can give to us at work through the United Way or Community Shares campaigns. If you want to give a gift through the United Way, simply write “Kids Matter” onto your donor card along with the designated amount. If you want to give through Community Shares click here for more information.
Put your volunteer hours to work Many businesses support the charitable work of their employees by giving donations to the charities that their employees support with their volunteer time. If your company has this policy and you are a volunteer, just let us know. We will help with the paperwork.
