Teammates for Kids Foundation

Teammates for Kids Foundation contributes financial resources to selected nonprofit organizations that effectively serve and benefit children, with an emphasis on health, education, and inner-city services. These funding priorities include grants that: emphasize prevention and/or recovery from health problems; enhance the health of needy children by promoting healthy lifestyles; encourage educational achievement in areas of documented weakness; promote advanced learning opportunities to gifted children who would otherwise lack the resources necessary to pursue dreams and talents; provide health and educational programs targeted to low-income children in the inner city; and strengthen the capacity of operating nonprofit organizations to more effectively meet the needs of low-income children in the inner city. To qualify for a grant, an organization must: have a record of outstanding service in effectively and efficiently delivering programs and services that improve the lives of needy children; deliver services that impact the lives of children, both short- and long-term; and ensure 100 percent of grant monies received are used for the exclusive benefit of children. Application deadlines are April 1 and October 1 annually. For more information, go to www.teammates4kids.com/apply_for_grant/apply_grant.htm.
