The Kansas Pediatric Foundation is dedicated to empowering pediatricians and advancing child health across our state.
Your generosity directly supports pediatricians and the future of pediatric care in Kansas.
About the Foundation
The Kansas Pediatric Foundation is the charitable arm of KAAP.
The Kansas Pediatric Foundation is dedicated to promoting child literacy, health, and well-being across Kansas by supporting the Kansas Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics and spearheading special initiatives.
Every dollar raised powers transformative programs like Turn a Page. Touch a Mind.® (TAP-TAM), fostering a love of reading and strengthening family connections through shared literacy experiences.
Pediatricians are empowered through the Kansas Kids Fund, which provides critical resources to pediatricians through our Pediatricians in Action Awards. These awards encourage pediatricians to lead impactful community initiatives that directly benefit children and families.
Additionally, our funding supports essential advocacy efforts, social media outreach, member travel to national events, and a variety of services that enhance the pediatric community’s ability to serve Kansas families.
