  • Who can apply to receive cards from Kardz For Kidz?
    Children ages 6–17 who are in foster care, from low-income families (household income under $50,000/year), or facing serious, life altering, or terminal illness are eligible to apply. Parents or legal guardians must fill out the application and give written permission.
  • How often will my child receive cards?
    We send two 60-card custom decks per year—once on their birthday, and once at Christmas. We try to get cards set on their birthday week, and 2 weeks before Christmas.
  • What kind of cards will my child receive?
    Each deck is customized and may include Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Lorcana, or other popular trading cards based on your child’s interests. Decks include commons, rares, and even holos to make it fun and exciting!
  • Is there a cost to receive cards?
    No! Our cards and shipping are 100% free to qualified families, thanks to generous donors.
  • Will you share my child’s name or story online?
    Only if you give us specific written permission. We protect every child’s identity and privacy as part of our core values. If you would like to share your child's story either with us or have us share it with others, you can fill out this form and let us know if it's just for us or give us permission to share it with others. https://www.kardzforkidz.org/share-your-story
  • Can my child change the type of cards they would like to receive?
    Yes! you can request to change the type of cards your child will receive... If those cards are not available, your child may be waitlisted until we have enough of those types of cards to add them to that category. To request a change to card types email us at donations@kardzforkidz.org

You can: Donate bulk or hit cards, or sealed product Display a flier in your shop Host a donation box where customers can donate unwanted cards Sponsor a child’s birthday or holiday shipment If you would like to do any of these things, reach out to us email us at donations@kardzforkidz.org and let us know.
  • Can I request a flier or donation box kit?

    We accept Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Lorcana, and other TCGs. Bulk commons, playable cards, holos, hits, sealed products, and even graded cards are welcome. All cards must be authentic and in good condition. Any cards received not in good condition will be thrown away.
  • Are donations tax-deductible?
    We are in the process of applying for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status. Once approved, donations made from our incorporation date forward may be retroactively tax-deductible. We provide detailed receipts for your records.
  • How do I send cards I want to donate?
    You can mail cards to our address at: 1609 E 38th St, Marion, IN 46953 We recommend packaging them safely and using tracking. You can also contact us about bulk drop-offs or shop partnerships at donations@kardzforkidz.org
  • How are donated cards used?
    Donated cards are sorted, cleaned(if needed), and used to build 60-card custom decks for kids. Some are used in our Whatnot fundraiser streams, where a portion is recycled into future auctions and the rest goes to kids. 3 Cards of every 10 bulk cards(Common/Uncommon/Trainers/Energies) donated currently go into our "Wild Encounter Packs" to be auctioned or sold to help us cover the shipping and operation costs of giving cards to kids in our program... the 3 cards are chosen randomly and are never picked based on current value. 1 of every 10 Hit cards(rare or above) are added to the "Wild Encounter Packs" to be auctioned or sold to help us cover the shipping and operation costs of giving cards to kids in our program.
  • Can I support the mission financially?
    Yes! You can give online at www.kardzforkidz.org/give or by mailing a check to 1609 E 38th Street Marion, IN 46953 100% of donations support operations, card shipping, packaging, and expanding our outreach.
