Any child currently in custody of Hamilton County Juvenile Court is eligible for funding from the Everyday Needs & Dreams fund. Young adults who recently aged out of the child protection system may also be eligible in limited cases.
Generally, there is no set limit for funding requests. The request should directly meet the need of the child though and requests require justification to be approved. If you have any questions about the size of your funding requests or whether the need is appropriate, please reach out to a member of the team using the button above.
This funding can be used for material goods like baby care items, clothing/shoes, glasses, hearing aids, small household items, and even sports equipment. It can also be used to pay fees for services like camp, tutoring, school trips, and family passes. Don’t hesitate to ask if you have a need not in this list.
