Variety - The Children’s Charity is proud to support thousands of child related organizations and individual children in need.

Funds are raised through special events, public donations and corporate sponsorships. All funds raised help our local children in need. Support is given to those individuals, groups, institutions and agencies considered to best serve Variety's children in need.

FUNDING GUIDELINES

Variety – The Children’s Charity is a non-profit organization committed to serving special-needs children.  We primarily fund brick and mortar projects, equipment, programming,  and other tangible items that directly serve children.  We help support agencies that provide care, treatment, activities and shelter to critically ill, underprivileged, handicapped, abused, at-risk, and other deserving children. Administrative needs and other intangibles will not be considered for funding.  If you have questions regarding eligibility, please contact Sheri McMichael, Executive Director, at 515-243-4660 or sheri@varietyiowa.com.

Funds may be distributed in Iowa and surrounding communities to accredited tax-exempt 501(c)(3) children's organizations only.
