Making a Difference for Families
of Washington's Workers
Kids’ Chance of Washington
is a need-based scholarship program for
the dependent children and spouses of workers killed or seriously disabled
in a workplace accident in Washington. It was founded in 2001 as one
of 20 states helping kids to achieve their desired future.
The future can look frightening to someone whose parent or spouse
has been seriously or fatally injured at work. Already confronting
difficult emotions, they often must confront the hurdle of funding
their education—the key to their future and ours. Each year, hundred
of kids face this challenge.
Through the collaborative efforts of business and labor organizations, need-based
scholarships are provided to the children and spouses of Washington workers
who are permanently or catastrophically injured or deceased.
Scholarships are funded through donations from business and labor organizations
throughout Washington, as well as individuals, employers, attorneys, other
groups, and special activities sponsored by specific individuals or groups
and grants.
As a volunteer organization, your help is critical to our success. Monetary
donations from people like you make our work possible. Please
consider giving to this important program. Kids’ Chance of Washington
is committed to the future of children who have experienced the emotional
and financial trauma following the loss or serious injury of a parent in
a workplace accident. Your generous gift to support this worthwhile organization
is the key to a child’s future. As noted above, we also provide scholarship
for qualifying spouses of workers killed or injured in the workplace.
