It serves as a transformative space where children build lasting friendships, discover and hone new skills, and cultivate a sense of independence and community. This can be particularly important to children suffering the effects of poverty or facing physical, developmental or medical challenges that very few adults, much less their peers, can understand. Yet it is the most vulnerable children who often face the greatest obstacles in accessing summer camp. Camps For Kids works to help these children overcome these obstacles. Camps For Kids partners with area camps which focus on children with medical challenges (cancer, spina bifida, congenital heart defects, end-stage renal disease, and others), on the autism spectrum, with physical and developmental disabilities, foster care children, and those who come from low-income families. Many of these camps are offered at little to no cost to campers, and those which aren't use Camps For Kids' funding to provide scholarships for underprivileged children. The goal of the Camps For Kids' program is to help camps have the funds to assure that children will not be denied the summer camp experience because of low income or medical, physical or developmental disabilities. A central part of the Camps For Kids program is the offer of matching funds. This provides a unique opportunity for camps to effectively double their fundraising efforts, leveraging both their donor's gifts and staff/volunteer time. The objective is to raise matching funds to add to camp-dedicated donations Camps For Kids assists its camp partners to raise between April 1 and July 31 each year. The offer of matching funds has the added benefit of providing an incentive for donors, which our network camps report is vital to their individual fundraising efforts. The appeal of having their donations effectively doubled encourages many donors to donate. In 2023, Camps For Kids matched qualifying donations to the camps 100%. Camps For Kids is more than a fundraising organization. It also assists camps by promoting them to the community through social media and other forms of outreach and by receiving and processing donations for them. It also facilitates collaboration among the camps in its network to share resources, challenges and solutions. Since its founding in 1981, multiple generations of children from low-income families and/or those who have medical, physical, or developmental disabilities have reaped the benefits of summer camp at little to no cost to their families with the support of Camps For Kids. In 2023 alone, more than 4000 children and youth attended a summer camp in the Camps For Kids network - a significant increase over 2022. Camps reported that half of these children had a physical, medical or developmental disability and 62.5% required some financial assistance. No child was denied admission to a camp in our network because of inability to pay. We hear again and again from the campers and their families about the impact these camps have. Perhaps a former camper turned adult volunteer at Camp Quality, a specialty camp for children with cancer and rare-blood disorders, explains it best: "For one week every year at Camp Quality, I feel completely normal. Everyone around me is my family and I can be anyone I want and feel accepted. . . I wouldn't be who I am today {without camp}. These people have changed my life." Camp changes lives. Camps For Kids helps make that life-changing experience available to more Kansas City-area children. 0 0 0 350962 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 1 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 14 14 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 X X Jenny Brown 8163014375 5913 Woodson Rd Suite 211 Mission KS 66202 Regina Weir Executive Director 40 0 X 71381 0 0 Stacey Deere President 2.5 0 X X 0 0 0 Darryl Mattox First Vice President 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Steven Streen Second Vice President 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Alyse Zadalis Treasurer 2.5 0 X X 0 0 0 Megan Clemens Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Amy Abrams Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Mary Blair Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Samantha Hess Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Alan Miglionico Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Brad Pearson Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Andrew Ryan Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Becky Schwartz Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Randy Spector Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Torres Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 71381 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 43622 0 0 352512 29917 396134 0 923 0 0 923 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 56809 43622 60934 -4125 0 -4125 0 392932 0 0 -3202 324171 324171 0 0 0 0 0 0 70172 21414 38051 10707 0 0 0 0 4906 1109 3242 555 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6379 1914 3508 957 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 14364 0 14364 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 12494 2354 10140 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4020 0 4020 0 1112 0 1112 0 0 0 0 1014 0 1014 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3358 0 3358 0 1724 0 1724 0 443714 350962 80533 12219 43172 60636 247657 212947 58600 20000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1233 1161 40907 40907 3358 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 354020 294744 12890 4395 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 12890 4395 X 286130 270349 55000 20000 341130 290349 354020 294744 X -50782 0 0 0 0 1 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 357987 244653 436856 554522 396134 1990152 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 357987 244653 436856 554522 396134 1990152 423165 1566987 669 748 606 547 923 3493 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1993645 124471 0.78599 0.75010 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2407 2407 0 0 38500 38500 0 0 0 0 X 257003 0 0 0 60934 60934 196069 0 196863 196863 392932 307783 0 0 0 60934 60934 246849 0 196865 196865 443714 Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 The Organization is a non-profit organization exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and a similar provision of state law.
