KS Kids Fund
Established in 2014 by the Kansas Pediatric Foundation Board of Directors, the Kansas Kids Fund was created to provide KAAP with the resources needed to expand programs focused on promoting children’s health across Kansas.
The fund supports a range of child health and pediatrician-focused initiatives, including the Pediatricians in Action awards, scholarships for pediatricians to attend national conferences and skill-building training, and other special projects. The Board of Directors oversees the allocation of these unrestricted funds, directing them toward child health programs as resources become available.

(TAP-TAM) Program
Fully funded through the Kansas Pediatric Foundation, this flagship program is an early childhood literacy program that taps into the trusted relationship between a healthcare provider and a child’s caregiver to improve school readiness in Kansas.
This fund covers the direct program and operating costs for the TAP-TAM program. It enables additional purchases of books and materials to promote early childhood literacy, supports program evaluation, and helps cover the Kansas Pediatric Foundation’s operational expenses.
TAP-TAM Endowment
Your donation to the endowment adds to the principal balance of the TAP-TAM program. Each year, a percent of the investment is used to purchase books and finance a portion of the program’s operational costs. A gift to the TAP-TAM Endowment can be designated for a specific community of your choosing.
