Camps for Kids Matching Campaign

Double your donationΒ during the Camps For Kids Matching Campaign!

Our Camps for Kids Matching Campaign runs between April 1 and July 31. During this time Camps For Kids will DOUBLE all donations made on behalf of Camp Encourage. Donations will provide funding for scholarships, camp tees for campers and volunteers, and programming related supplies.

When you contribute to the Camps for Kids Matching Campaign, every $25 gift turns into $50, $500 into $1000, and $1500 into $3000, all with the goal: to allow more youth with autism in our region the opportunity to attend an overnight camp tailored to meet their needs!

With approximately 70% of our campers annually requesting scholarship funding in order to attend Camp Encourage, the Camps For Kids campaign provides a great opportunity to support our efforts to ensure no camper is ever turned away from camp due to financial need.

DURING THE CAMPAIGN, you can contribute online or via a good ol' check. If paying by check, make it payable to Camps For Kids, write Camp Encourage on the memo line, and mail it to:

Camps For Kids
5913 Woodson, Suite 211
Mission, KS 66202

Please note:Β Camps For Kids will send receipts for your tax-deductible donation, but Camp Encourage will still get notification of all of your generous gifts and will follow up with a thank you note. If you do not receive your receipt from Camps For Kids after the conclusion of the campaign, pleaseΒ contact us.

We are tremendously appreciative to be a part of the Camps For Kids network since our founding year, thankful that Camps For Kids works diligently throughout the year to provide this matching program, and grateful to those individuals making this tax-deductible donation.

About Camps For Kids

Camps For Kids is a local nonprofit organization committed to assuring that no Kansas City youngster is denied the benefits of summer camp due to disability or low income.

Contributions of $1500 or less are matched 1:1 from a funding pool developed by participating philanthropies. Gifts over $1500 are forwarded to the designated program (Camp Encourage) with the first $1500 being eligible for match. The matching of contributions ceases when the matching pool is exhausted.
