Coalition for Kids Fund Grant

The Coalition for Kids Fund, established in 1991, aims to enhance the well-being of children and families in our community. By fostering collaboration among local organizations, the fund supports programs that promote health, learning, and self-sufficiency for children ages birth to five. Each March, community-based organizations can apply for grants, with a focus on strengthening protective factors and addressing barriers faced by families. The fund represents a commitment to nurturing environments that empower young children and their families.

The Coalition for Kids Fund will provide the opportunity for local community-based organizations serving young children—ages birth through 5—to apply for grant funding each March. Grant applications will be reviewed by a fund Advisory Committee and distributed for program use each July. For the inaugural year of the fund, awards were selected by the Board of CFK and will benefit The Family Nurturing Center, Siskiyou Community Health Center’s Home Visiting Programs, Tinkerbell Parent Cooperative Preschool, and a community-wide education campaign on Protective Factors.
Grant guidelines and application will be made available in March each year, based upon the following target outcomes, core values, and priority populations.
