How do you build a strong adult?

Start with a kid.

Bucks for Kids is the sole source of
individual funding for kids in Foster Care.
Funding is limited to children served by Bucks County Children & Youth.

How We Help

Kids and teens in the care of Bucks County Children & Youth Agency (C&Y) got a rough start in life, having suffered neglect, abuse or trauma.

Bucks for Kids partners with C&Y caseworkers to fund the individual “extras” these kids need.

While Bucks County pays for housing, food and medical care, foster parents only receive about $16 per day. They can’t afford “extras” that normalize life for these kids – some of whose parents are absent, disabled or incarcerated.

Music/Art Lessons

Sports Fees

College Scholarships/
Vocational Development

Summer Camps

School Fees

Supplemental Education/
Tutoring

Many of these children live with families who are unable to afford “extras” such as summer camp, tutoring, baseball games, birthday parties, music lessons. We fill that gap.
