The Challenge and Solution of Kids’ Chance
Aligning State Chapters
Kids’ Chance of America has a strong brand, but with 50 state chapters each managing their own websites, it became difficult to ensure consistent branding.

Consistent Design, Improved Functionality

A new, user-friendly scholarship application form through Kaleidoscope made it easy for applicants to submit applications as well as allowing easy submission review for the Kids’ Chance committees. A new Stripe payment integration provides convenient online donations, replacing and supplementing traditional mail-in contributions and streamlining the donation process. Using Eventbrite for event management allows Kids’ Chance to showcase events effectively and simplifies attendee registration, increasing event participation.
