Every Kid Counts. So Does Every Gift.

For over 30 years, EKC has helped kids in our community learn, play, and grow — through education, sports, and after-school programs that change the direction of a child’s life. Your donation keeps that work going.

Why Your Gift Matters

A child who has somewhere to go after school. A kid who gets a bike, a backpack, or a chance to play on a team for the first time. A family that needed help and found it, no questions asked.

That’s what your donation makes possible.

Every Kid Counts is a 501(c)(3) public charity founded in 1994 by a small group of Mesa community leaders who believed every kid deserves a shot at a better future. Today, we partner with Creighton Elementary School District, Phoenix Children’s Hospital, and our own Hardship Fund to reach kids and families who need it most — free from the abuses of drugs and alcohol, the effects of violence, and the setbacks of illiteracy.

We couldn’t do any of it without people like you.
