The Coalition for Kids Fund was established in 2020 to support programs that strengthen protective factors in families and our community and increase health outcomes for children in their earliest years of life. Each year, local community-based organizations serving young children (ages birth through 5) in Josephine County are eligible to submit grant applications to be reviewed by the C4K Fund Advisory Committee.
