Overview

The Berthoud CARES Kids Helping Kids Fund has been developed with the belief that even small amounts of money, carefully used, can have an important effect on someone's life. 

• Now funded, via support for Berthoud's school students, this program will provide assistance for children and/or families within Berthoud, CO, who need to get through short-term crisis situations and who have needs that are not met by other public or private programs.  This fund will allow for emergency one time grants only. The goal is to contribute to the well being of individuals.  

• A Berthoud CARES Kids Helping Kids Fund Committee has been developed within the structure of the Berthoud CARES organization.  This committee will work with the Board of Directors of Berthoud CARES who will administer the Fund.  Representatives from each Berthoud school (Berthoud Elementary, Ivy Stockwell Elementary, Turner Middle and Berthoud High) will be asked to work in tandem with a representative from Berthoud CARES on the solicitation of grants, the review of grants and the awarding of grant funding. 

• Requests for grant support must come through a Berthoud area school to the Berthoud CARES Kids Helping Kids Fund.

• Individuals may not apply on their own behalf.

• The Berthoud CARES Kids Helping Kids Fund will only issue payments to qualified vendors of applicants.  Checks cannot be made directly to individuals. 
  
  Grants will be awarded between $100 and $300.

  
  Donations of all sizes are accepted by Berthoud CARES to support the establishment and continuation of the Berthoud CARES Kids Helping Kids Fund.
