About Seriousfun Children's Network
SeriousFun Children’s Network funds camps and programs for children with medical challenges, with every grant in the recent data supporting operating and capital needs. The pattern is centered on a small group of camp partners that recur year after year, suggesting a sustained commitment to keeping those programs running and improving their facilities. The largest recent grants went to The Painted Turtle in Lake Hughes, California, and Flying Horse Farms in Mt Gilead, Ohio, both funded across multiple years at roughly the same scale. That same continuity appears elsewhere in the portfolio: Camp Korey in Carnation, Washington; Hole in the Wall Gang in New Haven, Connecticut; and Camp Boggy Creek in Eustis, Florida all received repeated support. The foundation’s grants are substantial rather than small project awards, with many falling in the mid-hundreds of thousands of dollars. Across the recent list, the giving reflects a program model built around direct support to nonprofit camp operators that serve children with serious illnesses and related support needs.
What Seriousfun Children's Network Funds
A core theme is camp operating support. SeriousFun Children’s Network gave $624,073 to Hole in the Wall Gang in New Haven, Connecticut for operating and capital needs, and similar awards appear for other camp operators that provide recreational programming for children with medical challenges. Facility and infrastructure work is another clear thread: the foundation awarded $655,715 to Camp Korey in Carnation, Washington for operating and capital needs, and the same purpose language appears across the recent grants list. The network also supports year-to-year continuity for camp delivery in different regions; for example, Camp Boggy Creek in Eustis, Florida received $615,130 in one year and $593,806 in another for operating and capital needs. These grants align with a focus on youth development, adaptive care, and disability inclusion through nonprofit camp programs.
How Seriousfun Children's Network Gives
Typical awards are large: the 25th percentile is $484,653, the median is $554,350, and the 75th percentile is $624,073. The recent record shows repeated support to the same nonprofits across multiple years, especially camp operators that appear in 2023, 2024, and 2025. That makes the pattern more recurring than one-off. Grants are made to nonprofit organizations and the recent portfolio is built around operating support and capital support, rather than individuals or program-related investments. The size distribution is relatively tight, with most awards clustered in the mid-hundreds of thousands.
