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
Save the Children
Save the Children
is a non-profit organization working to create positive, lasting change for disadvantaged children in the United States and 41 other nations. The Inspire Children Foundation sent a grant to Save the Children to provide aid to the victims of the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti.
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.
Project Joy
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. Project Joy
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. Project
Joy 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 Project Joy 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.
