Funding youth mental health in KC since 2006
We're a Kansas City fundraising foundation. Local events and sponsors raise the money. Partner organizations and programs deliver the care.
Two decades of funded work in Kansas City
Fore the Kids founded in 2006, funding laptops and technology for kids stuck in long hospital stays. In 2017 the focus shifted permanently to youth mental health, and it has stayed there since.
