Grant FAQ
Eligibility
How do I know if I am eligible for a grant from the All-Star Children's Foundation?
We make our grants to federally tax-exempt nonprofit organizations classified as 501(c)(3); public charities as defined by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation's grants are made to organizations whose program's mission is to break the cycle of child abuse, neglect and abandonment. For additional eligibility information, please view Grant making Guidelines.
How can I get money from the All-Star Children's Foundation if I have a personal dire need?

Founding Sponsor
We would like to extend a sincere thank you to our Founding Sponsor and the Official Sponsor of our two annual fundraisers, Longboat Key Club & Resort. Their financial, emotional and volunteer support since the Foundation's inception has been amazing. They are truly making a difference in the lives of many children!
