Just Say YES!

When I was walking on the stage to receive the scholarship, I thought to myself that doing something I love (community service) can be fulfilling with not just the interaction with the community, but can provide a reward to my own goals.

About Us

about-under-line

The mission of the Cal-Nev-Ha Children’s Fund is to build a better future for our children. Through life-saving initiatives like our Pediatric Trauma Program-designed to reduce the leading cause of death among children-we provide education, equipment, and resources that prevent injuries and save lives.

We also award community grants and provide scholarships and leadership development opportunities, to thousands of Kiwanis youth. Every day, the Cal-Nev-Ha Children's Fund changes lives for the better.

As the charitable entity of the Cal-Nev-Ha District of Kiwanis International, the CNH Children’s Fund is supported by voluntary contributions from the Kiwanis family, as well as individuals and organizations who support our mission.

Improving Lives

Pediatric Trauma remains the leading cause of death and injury among children ages 14 and under in the United States.

Through our innovative Pediatric Trauma Program (PTP), the Cal-Nev-Ha Children’s Fund is committed to developing local projects which will reduce the number of children in our three-state District who are killed or injured by trauma, ensuring all children live happy, healthy and safe lives.
