    About Nick's Kids Foundation

    Nick's Kids Foundation Inc centers its giving on children, families, teachers, and students, with annual funding that is often distributed through its Giveaway Luncheon process. The foundation also runs the 18 for 18 / Habitat for Humanity home-building partnership, linking its mission to family stability and community development through housing support. Recent grants show a mix of large general-support awards and recurring local commitments, including $400,000 to Sc Foundation in Tuscaloosa and $105,000 to Habitat for Humanity in Tuscaloosa. It also supports youth-serving organizations and education-related institutions across West Alabama, such as Boys & Girls Club of West Alabama and Children’s of Alabama, alongside schools, museums, and student centers. The foundation’s active programs include annual funding requests, event sponsorship support, and teacher recognition, which together show a grantmaker that combines competitive annual giving with targeted support for community events and mission-aligned projects. Its stated purpose is to work together in the spirit of faith and giving in the community, and its grant record reflects that local emphasis.

    What Nick's Kids Foundation Funds

    Education and youth development appear across several grants. Nick's Kids Foundation Inc gave $27,123 to Stillman College and $21,083 to The Rise School of Tuscaloosa, both in Tuscaloosa, showing support for postsecondary and early-childhood education settings. For child-focused enrichment, it awarded $11,470 to Tuscaloosa Children’s Theatre and $11,000 to Children’s Hands on Museum of Tuscaloosa. Health and family support also show up in the grant list: Children’s of Alabama in Birmingham received $50,000 in both 2023 and 2024, and Whatley Health Services Inc in Tuscaloosa received $10,000 in 2024. The foundation also backs community service organizations, including United Way of West Alabama with $10,000 in 2024 and West Alabama Food Bank with $16,000 in both 2023 and 2024.

    How Nick's Kids Foundation Gives

    Nick's Kids Foundation Inc’s typical award size sits around a five-figure range, with p25 at $7,600, a median of $10,000, and p75 at $12,000. The recent grant list also includes much larger general-support gifts, suggesting that a small number of awards rise well above the center of the distribution. The grants are organized through annual funding at the Giveaway Luncheon, event sponsorship support, and the Habitat partnership, and the annual funding process is described as accepting requests by deadline for that year’s luncheon, with late requests rolling to the following year. The recipient list shows repeat support across multiple years, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards.
