The non-profit Child King Foundation (CKF) administers funds and disburses grants to organizations, charities and individuals that assist those with intellectual disabilities. Foundation funds are generated by producer's profits from the sale of The Child King DVD and related merchandise, 100% of which are channeled to The Foundation for disbursement. CKF grants are offered to eligible applicants after review by The Foundation's awards committee. Submission Procedures Any organization, charity or individual that advocates for those with intellectual disabilities is encouraged to apply for a CKF grant.

CHILD KING FOUNDATION FAQS Q: Who is eligible for a Child King Foundation (CKF) grant?A: Any organization, charity or individual that advocates for those with intellectual disabilities may apply. Q: Where do Child King Foundation funds originate? A: All producer's profits from the sale of the DVD and all profits from the sale of The Child King related merchandise comprise 100% of CKF funds. Q: How are grants decided? A: Grants are decided through an application and review process. CKF grant applications are reviewed by The Foundation's awards committee. Q: How long does the review process take? A: The process varies depending on the amount of information the committee requires before making a determination on an eligible grant applicant. Q: I am planning to start a business or organization relevant to intellectual disabilities, can I apply for seed funding? A: Absolutely. Q: I do not have non-profit status. Can I still apply for a CKF grant? A: Yes. As long as you, or your organization, advocates for those with intellectual disabilities, you are eligible to apply. Q: I have an intellectual disability or I am the custodian of an intellectually disabled individual and require financial assistance. Can I apply? A: It depends. Except in extreme emergencies (which are considered on a case-by-case basis) CKF grants are not intended for cost-of-living expenses. However, if the funds will be of direct benefit to an individual with disabilities (i.e.: helping with tuition for a relevant program) then you are welcome to apply. Q: I was awarded a CKF grant but now require additional funds. Is there a limit to the number of times I can apply? A: Applicants receiving CKF grants may reapply, but not in the same calendar year in which a grant was previously awarded. Q: If I've been turned down for a CKF grant can I reapply? A: Yes, you are welcome to reapply, although it may be to your advantage if the new proposal is substantially modified from the one previously denied. Q: I've applied for a CKF grant. Now what? A: Wait to hear from us. If your application is denied, we will contact you and explain why. If your application is reviewed by the awards committee and deemed a funding candidate, chances are you will be asked for additional information so an informed grant decision can be made. Q: I would like to make a charitable contribution to the CKF fund, is that possible? A: While we thank you for the kind offer, the CKF does not accept funds from sources outside The Foundation. Soliciting and/or accepting charitable contributions would put the CKF in competition with the very organizations it assists. If you wish to donate, a list of worthy candidates can be found on the "LINKS" page.
