Charities We Support
All funds raised by the Inspire Children Foundation directly support charitable organizations that improve the lives of disadvantaged and marginalized children and their families. Our goal is to ensure that children everywhere, locally and around the globe, have the opportunity to experience secure, healthy, happy and productive lives.
We invite you to contact us with your recommendations regarding other organizations that would be excellent candidates for our future support. The organizations below are our initial grant recipients.
Current Funding Recipients
Action Against Hunger
The mission of Action
Against Hunger,
a humanitarian aid organization, is to eliminate hunger worldwide. Acute malnutrition
afflicts 75 million children a year. One powerfully effective tool in the prevention
and treatment of malnutrition is a nutrient dense ready-to-use-food (RUF) known
as "Plumpynut." This therapeutic food supplies the essential nutrients a child
needs to be cured of malnutrition. $50.00 provides 45 days of "Plumpynut" as
a life-saving treatment for a sick child. Please
join our network of donors in helping Action Against Hunger's campaign to
end malnutrition.
The Life is Good Kids Foundation (formerly Project Joy)
The Life
is Good Kids Foundation (formerly Project Joy) is
a nonprofit program that strives to mitigate the adverse impact of poverty,
violence and trauma on developing children. They believe that we are all
born to play. But far too many kids lose the desire and capacity to be
playful early in life. Some are victims of poverty or violence. Others
suffer from the fear and loneliness of heartbreaking loss. The Life is
Good Kids Foundation is on a mission to use the healing power of play
to transform kids sidelined by personal trauma into enthusiastic players
in the game of life. The Life is
Good Kids Foundation equips teachers and childcare providers
with the know-how, resources and inspiration to help kids once again embrace
their playful nature. So they can reach their full potential and successfully
meet life's biggest challenges.
We
enthusiastically support the work of The Life is
Good Kids Foundation and
look forward to bringing the program to Philadelphia. To do so, we
need to raise $50,000 to fund a comprehensive training program. Your donation
to this project will have far-reaching benefits for the community.
