Lawyers Supporting Foster Youth Development in Jackson County
Attorneys at Shook Hardy & Bacon created the Lawyers for Kids fund to provide small grants (up to $250 per child/$1000 per family per year) to cover expenses associated with youth development activities. These funds are available for Missouri youth in foster, kinship, and adoptive homes in Jackson, Clay, Ray, Lafayette, Johnson, and Cass counties.
Qualifiying activities include sports, gymnastics, horseback riding, and other extracurricular activities.
Please contact Rachelle Mathis at rachelle.mathis@fosteradopt.org with any questions.
Important: Lawyers for Kids grant funds are limited. If an approved payment or check is not used, recipients are expected to notify FosterAdopt Connect as soon as possible so the funds can be made available to other children and families. Repeated instances of unused or uncashed grant payments may be considered when reviewing future grant requests.
