Did you know For Kids Foundation was founded right here in Reno in 2003?
Dr. Earl Nielsen and his wife, Paula, wanted to help children who were falling through the cracks, those who didnβt qualify for existing programs but whose families couldnβt afford the care they needed.
It started with one question: What if we could help any child with any critical need?
More than 20 years later, For Kids Foundation continues helping Northern Nevada children get support when thereβs nowhere else to turn.
