About Us

Our Vision

At Rodman for Kids, we believe every young person deserves access to the programs, resources, and opportunities they need to dream, grow, and succeed. 

Our Mission

We are committed to raising resources, building capacity, and creating opportunities for youth-focused organizations, their leaders, and the kids they serve.   

About the Organization

A better future begins with investing in the youth in our communities - supporting their education, health, social, and creative development. Rodman for Kids elevates potential, creates pathways, and provides access to brighter futures for kids who need it most.

As a catalyst and hub for collaboration, Rodman for Kids empowers more than 40 youth-focused nonprofits to strengthen their impact and better support the young people they serve. Through networking, professional development, shared best practices, and programmatic opportunities, we help organizations of all sizes grow stronger. In addition to this comprehensive support, we also provide fundraising and organizational resources, direct financial support, and strategic investments in our partners. Together, we create an ecosystem where collaboration, innovation, and mentorship fuel a cycle of growth and lasting impact.

One donation to Rodman for Kids creates a ripple effect, impacting every Charity Partner and the thousands of kids collectively served.

By building stronger organizations and expanding opportunities for kids, Rodman for Kids helps make brighter futures possible.
