Project Title: High Five for Northern Nevada Children (HFFNNC) Program
Project Description:

The purpose of our HFNNC Program is to provide gap funding for urgently needed medical, dental, psychological, well-being, and educational products/services (five key areas), allowing at-risk children the opportunity to thrive.
For Kids Foundation considers applications from any child living in Nevada (all counties, excluding Clark County), from birth to age 21, regardless of gender, nationality, citizenship, religious affiliation, or race.
Families apply for assistance via our website; within 24 hours, we conduct an interview with the family to ascertain need; we search database for known (always searching for new) alternative funding sources; we request discounts from service providers; we request supporting documents from the professionals working with the child (pediatrician, therapist, or educators) to substantiate the request; and, every 14 days, we present applications for full Board review. If approved, we pay the service provider directly or order the product to be delivered.
Our goal is to provide funding or provide alterative resource if available for every eligible child who applies for assistance. We track age, gender, geographic location, discounts received from service providers, the types of requests (medical, dental, psychological, well-being or educational), and whether request was approved/denied/alternative found/canceled by parent. After an Award is paid, we follow up with the family and the service provider to ensure delivery via phone, email, or online survey. We ask for a status report on the child from the parent/guardian. Due to the confidential/sensitive nature of psychological requests, we depend on the family to update us on how the child is doing. In the case of educational awards, however, we ask for monthly status reports from the professionals providing educational assistance before continuing to fund an award for the allotted time period. We reach out to families at the end of approved Award to learn current status of the child.
