We Help Local Children in Your Community
Kingdom Kids’ focus is on helping children and families in the local community. We find our donors are much more interested and involved when they understand it is helping deserving kids in their own backyard. Focus on Children Facing Challenging Circumstances
Kingdom Kids helps children battling a number of challenges—cancer, leukemia, cerebral palsy, si
ckle cell anemia, abandonment, abuse, neglect and more. Though focused on children, we are open to supporting people of all challenges, races, ethnicities and backgrounds. All kids deserve to be a kid.
100% Pass Through Organization
Every dollar that is donated to Kingdom Kids goes directly to the cause it was meant for—no salaries are paid by the donations. By providing its donors the comfort of knowing exactly where all of their money is going through programs such as our “Menus” and “Wish Lists“, what we do with the money is transparent. Second Wish Granting
Most major wish granting non-profits have a rule: If a child has received a wish from them or any other wish-granting organization, that child is by definition “disqualified” from receiving another wish. This offers a major differentiation advantage to the families we support. No Application Process
Instead of using an application process like many other charitable organizations where numerous children/families apply for wishes and most get declined, Kingdom Kids works directly with the organizations to find out which children and families are in need and what those needs/wishes are. Therefore we can surprise children and families with granted wishes or needs without letting anyone down through not being “selected”. Versatility
Kingdom Kids is able and willing to add, subtract or edit internal processes to best serve the organization. We are always open to new ideas, opportunities and relationships through which we may fulfill our mission. This also allows us to participate in and develop a variety of events to attract donors to the cause. Fulfillment Efficiency
The organizations KK has partnered with had a common problem finding immediate response and fulfillment of wishes in certain cases. Mainly because other non-profits are much larger, they in turn have much more “red tape”, bureaucracy and formal processes that can take weeks or months for final approval. On many occasions our partners call and have the needed items the next day. This is critical when working with children who are often terminally ill. Our Founders:
Kevin Ford
Originally from the Mississippi Gulf Coast and coming to Georgia following Hurricane Katrina in 2005, I currently live in Cumming, GA with my wife Jodi and beautiful daughter, Katelyn. I attended the University of South Alabama where I studied Business and Economic Development. I am with the rapidly expanding Gwinnett-based company, The Campus Special, Inc. as National Sales Manager. My desire to help simply improve the quality of these children’s lives makes the opportunity to build this organization and the work to fulfill our mission, a true passion for me. I am grateful for how the Community has embraced us and I am excited to increase the reach and impact of what we do here in Forsyth and Gwinnett Counties. Contact Kevin at 770-861-5925. Justin Hutchinson
Born in rural upstate NY, I moved to Georgia eight years ago for better opportunities and better weather. For the past six years I’ve been a sales manager with Lonesource, an INC 5000 company based in Gwinnett County. My wife Lauren and I were blessed with our first child, Taylor Kate in March of 2009. My passion for helping children and families in need is fueled by losing several family members to cancer and my new role as a father. I’m excited about the progress this organization has already made and the direction we are headed in the future. Contact Justin at 404-432-4845.
