GIVING TUESDAY 2024

WE FUNDED $30,000 IN ACTIVITY ENRICHMENT PROGRAM SCHOLARSHIPS IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS

Within a mere 24 hours of launching our quarterly funding application, an overwhelming response compelled us to close it down. We received 75 applications from children in need, totaling over $30,000 in funding requests. In just one day, the available funds were fully allocated, leaving many deserving applicants without support. 

So then what happened? The emails started rolling in.

  • “I was laid off at work and I can’t afford my daughter’s dance lessons. Please help, she will be so disappointed.” 

  • “ConfiKids has been funding my child’s karate for two years now, but I missed the application window. This has been my child’s only outlet from all of their medical appointments, is there anything you can do? I can’t afford it without this funding.” 

We had to turn these two kids away, along with so many more.

IT GOES SO MUCH DEEPER THAN THE EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITY 

Pursuing new passions, developing new skills, making new friendships, learning how to win and lose, learning about hard work and accountability, and ultimately, at the heart of our mission, building confidence. 

Sometimes, all a child needs is an opportunity to do something that makes them believe in themselves. That is how self-confidence is built. That is how young children become successful adults. That is how no child gets left behind.

HELP US MEET THE DEMAND

Countless children are in urgent need of assistance, with demand reaching unprecedented levels. Fortunately, you hold the key to making a difference. Many families are finding themselves unable to afford organized activities for their children, while the simple joy of playing outside in the neighborhood has become increasingly rare. Shockingly, the average cost of an extracurricular program stands at a staggering $500! Your contribution, no matter the size, enables us to extend support to more local children in 2024.
