Pediatric Trauma Program is a grant from the Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation that provides hospital grants to partner facilities in the California, Nevada, and Hawaii Kiwanis district to fund pediatric trauma-related community outreach, staff training, and medical equipment for unfunded needs.

The program is part of a broader grantmaking portfolio from the Cal-Nev-Ha Children's Fund that also includes Club Grants for Kiwanis service projects and Disaster Assistance Grants for emergency relief. Eligible applicants are partner hospitals affiliated with the Cal-Nev-Ha Kiwanis district. Grant amounts vary by project and organizational need.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.

Grantmaking - Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation The Cal-Nev-Ha Children's Fund offers an array of grant programs to our Kiwanis Family clubs to enhance and further their efforts to build a better future for our children. Many of our grant recipients have been featured on our Facebook page and on our website.

If your club received a grant from the Cal-Nev-Ha Children's Fund, be sure to complete your grant reports so we can feature your great work too! The Cal-Nev-Ha Children’s Fund supports Kiwanis clubs’ interest in their local community needs. Often, however, a community need may far exceed a club’s ability to get the project started.

The Club Grant Program was developed in 1984 to assist clubs with seed money when the scope of a service project exceeds the club’s financial resources. Disaster Assistance Grants The Disaster Assistance Grant Program was established to assist Kiwanis clubs in providing immediate disaster relief assistance in the event of a natural disaster.

Pediatric Trauma Program (PTP) Grants As part of our major focus, the Cal-Nev-Ha Children's Fund offers Pediatric Trauma Program Grants to our Kiwanis and Service Leadership Programs (SLP) clubs by providing matching start-up funds to assist them in financing new service projects which seek to prevent and/or treat pediatric trauma – defined as sudden, unintentional physical injury – or for projects which seek to prevent and/or treat child/teen mental health issues.
