About Helzberg Helps
Helzberg Helps centers its giving on children and families through nonprofit partnerships that support wish granting, children’s health, youth services, and community assistance. The largest recent grant in the data is $40,000 to Make a Wish Foundation of Missouri and Kansas, showing a strong link to wish-granting work. That relationship appears again in another year with a $20,000 grant to the same organization, indicating repeated support rather than a one-off award. The foundation also backs child-focused organizations serving serious illness and youth development, including Bradens Hope for Childhood Cancer and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Kansas City. Those grants point to a practical, direct-service approach: funding groups already working with children, families, and local community members. Helzberg Helps is the charitable and corporate giving program of Helzberg Diamonds, and its recent grants show a consistent pattern of partnering with nonprofits that deliver services tied to children’s well-being and community support.

Wish granting is the clearest theme in the recent grants. Helzberg Helps gave $40,000 in 2025 and $20,000 in 2024 to Make a Wish Foundation of Missouri and Kansas for that work.

Youth services also appear in the record through a $20,000 grant in 2025 and a $10,000 grant in 2024 to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Kansas City. Across these awards, the foundation supports nonprofits serving children, families of children, and youth in the local community.
