Overview

Mission

To create a sustainable cycle of giving by equipping kids to serve others.

What it reported doing in 2025

Kids boost empowers kids to give back to their community. Each child ages 8 to 14 is given seed money, a one-on-one coach, and resources to assist them in raising funds for the charity of their choice. Throughout the project the child becomes a philanthropist and social entreprenuer while learning valuable lessons in money management, civil engagement, and communication. Our programs are offered at schools, churches, scout troops, and in neighborhood clubs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 82% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
