The money raised through Kids Fund events and fundraisers is donated back to the community – specifically to support cultural, social, educational and athletic activities for Blaine County youth.

Any 501(c)(3) organization (non-profit) is eligible to receive funds from 5B Kids Fund.

At each month’s membership meeting, our membership will consider requests from various organizations that are in need of financial support for youth focused programming.

To be considered for a grant:

1. Fill out and submit a request.

2. We will ensure the request meets our funding criteria. 

3. We will contact you and, if you met our criteria, put you on a future meeting agenda.

4. You will make a brief presentation at the monthly meeting.

5. We will inform you whether or not the request has been granted.

All funding must fall within the priorities of the 5B Kids Fund mission:

to support cultural, social, educational and athletic activities for Blaine County youth.

​General guidelines:

• Grant requests must come from a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, or a program that operates under the fiscal sponsorship of another non-profit.

• Grant requests can be made once a grant cycle (January-December).  If your project needs consideration an additional time during the cycle, please contact president@5BKidsFund.org to discuss.

• Grants are capped at $2,000.

• Funds must directly benefit the youth of Blaine County.

• Funds can be used for direct program expenses, scholarships or events.

• Funds cannot be used for administrative or operating costs (i.e. salaries, marketing, advertising, insurance, or day-to-day expenses).

• Please only submit complete requests, and include all the required information. Incomplete applications will not be considered.

• We ask that if you are awarded funds, you will provide volunteers at one of our events (ex. Pancake Breakfast, Kindercup, Holiday Bazaar, etc.).
