Kids’ Chance of America celebrated 10 years as an official, incorporated IRS approved 501(c)(3) charity organization this year. But, the Kids’ Chance mission has been around much longer than that!

Robert Clyatt, a workers’ compensation attorney from Valdosta, Georgia, founded the first Kids’ Chance organization in 1988. Since inception, the Kids’ Chance ecosystem has grown to include 39 state chapters, three affiliate organizations, and seven states in the process of forming.

Our long history has brought together many different people from all walks of life. Watch this video to learn more about the organization and our goal of More Money for More Kids!

In total, we’ve awarded over 6,000 scholarships totaling over $18,000,000. Here you can hear from some of our student scholarship recipients.
