Donations to the Ricky King Children's Fund are earmarked almost exclusively to provide for the children. Recently, our fundraising efforts and growth required that we retain the services of an executive director who remains our only paid staff member. Our offices and most all other services have been donated by very generous and concerned members of the community.

Referrals to the Ricky King Children's Fund often come from other charitable organizations, physicians, hospitals, civic groups, or individuals. There is a very simple application process which consists of completing a short form which is then reviewed by our grant coordinator who, in turn, passes her recommendation on to the grant committee. Applications which meet the requirements of The Ricky King Children's Fund are then approved in whole or in part with funds paid directly to the provider of the medical equipment or service. Should the review committee question the application, it will generally be referred to the president and/or vice president for a final determination.
