Realities For Children's Nonprofit Funds

Realities For Children has established charitable funds 501c3 public charities to further extend our reach in providing services for abused, neglected and at-risk children in Larimer County. Gifts made to these funds are tax deductible and provide new ways people can get involved in helping the youth we serve. By accepting direct donations and fundraising dollars, in addition to membership support toward this growing need, we are able to provide for countless more children in our community who have slipped through the cracks of the system.

Realities For Children Charities Fund

This Fund is filled each year through multiple fundraising events, Realities For Children Charities hosts, and private donor dollars. Fundraising events include: the Realities Ride & Pre-Ride Rally, Realities Cup Invitational Golf Tournament and NightLights. Keeping Dreams Alive and the Annual Member Appreciation Dinner are also two events that benefit from the Realities For Children Charities' Fund. Although these two are not fundraising events, financial contributions are used to help grant the wishes of children within the systems during Realities For Children's Member Appreciation Dinner "Keeping Dreams Alive" program.
