Deadlines
Application cycles open in october on an annual basis.
Restrictions
Charleys kids foundation only gives one-year donations with the option of reapplication. We do not fund the entire program cost. We award grants ranging from $500 - $10,000. All applicants must: 1. Be a registered 501(c)(3) organization; 2. Provide education, food, and/or mentorship to kids at least twice a week to children in need; and 3. Apply for funding for a program existing for a minimum of three years. Finally, when possible, we prefer giving monthly (rather than one-time donations) to stay connected and learn about the difference we are making in the lives of children together.
