Make a Donation
Your donation to Kaleidoscope enriches a child’s life. Gifts are put to use right away to provide programs and services that keep young people safe and help them succeed.
What Your Dollars Do
In short, your donation provides vital services, resources and supplies for children and youth in Chicago who have complex medical, emotional and behavioral needs. Individual donors like you help:
- meet clients’ basic needs for personal hygiene items, cleaning supplies and groceries
- keep our staff-to-family ratios low so that each of our children gets the attention and care they need
- reduce the number of placements and inpatient hospitalizations of our kids
- link youth to community resources as they transition from the foster system to adulthood
- provide professional attire for young adults who secure interviews and employment through our vocational programs
- offer recreational activities, cultural events and other enriching experiences for foster youth
- train foster parents who provide the specialized care our children need while offering a safe, loving home
Donors like you make our work possible. Give now.
