Changing Lives One Child At A Time
OUR FOCUS
For Kids Foundation Monterey Bay provides basic assistance in areas such as education, health and well-being. We pay service providers on behalf of children for items or services not covered under existing programs or by other resources.
​
For Kids Foundation Monterey Bay is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization recognized by the IRS. The tax ID is 26-2563119. We receive donations from private donors, corporations and businesses. We have also received bequests.
COLLABORATION
Collaboration with other agencies in the community is accomplished by networking, especially through courts, schools and other local agencies who serve children. Because we are not a tightly regulated government agency, we have the flexibility to assist children who have no other options and the ability to expedite their requests.
