Lend A Hand Up For Kids is a special fund within the Lend A Hand Up program generously supported by Cullen Children’s Foundation and other generous donors who target their support toward families with children in crisis. Lend A Hand Up, Inc. is a charitable subsidiary of Dakota Medical Foundation (DMF).  Lend A Hand Up provides many resources to rally help for neighbors in crisis including a unique giving platform allowing donors to direct a gift to a specific individual/family benefit fund, or to make a tax-deductible gift to the program to help many families. Online gifts made through LendAHandUp.org are eligible for a 20% boost (add-on) to increase the impact of people’s generosity to  help their friends and neighbors.

Since 2008, Lend A Hand Up and caring community members have raised $22M to help more than 700 families living in Cass, Clay and Becker Counties.
