The Kid Power Exchange is a kid-directed giving platform that allows students to make real-world impact right in their backyard.
Each Kid Power Up completed earns your team one Kid Power Coin. For classrooms participating with Kid Power Bands, every Power Point earned becomes one Kid Power Coin for your team. Your team earns Kid Power Coins in addition to unlocking RUTF packets for severely malnourished children around the world. With the Kid Power Exchange, kids have the power to make a difference in their own communities.
Kid Power has partnered with three great organizations to provide local impact through the Kid Power Exchange. Click each cause below for more information.
Give Meals To Families
A partnership with Feeding America
Kid Power Coins can be directed to support a food bank in your community and across the country through Feeding America.
What Your Impact Means Locally
There are lots of reasons why families turn to food banks. This is the type of impact your team can make:
- You can help students like Emily be able to get healthy snacks from her school library so she can learn better and fit in with other kids.
- You can help Brittany’s children have fresh fruits and vegetables at home to eat, so she can afford to pay for their medicine and housing.
- You can help Lamont give free breakfast to young children in his community, as a way to give back for when he received free meals.
You can read more here about how your Kid Power Coins will help local families in need.
What Your Impact Means Globally
Giving meals to a family in need supports Global Goal 2. This Sustainable Development Goal aims to end world hunger by 2030 and ensure that every child always has access to healthy food.

Plant Trees
A partnership with the National Forest Foundation Fund
Kid Power Coins can be directed to plant a tree through the National Forest Foundation.
What Your Impact Means Locally
The National Forest Foundation has an ambitious goal to plant 50 million trees by 2023. This is the type of impact your team can make:
- You can help improve habitats for wildlife, including many endangered species.
- You can help repair watersheds, improving the environments in which we live and the water we drink.
- You can help restore the wild that Americans love, so your students can explore and enjoy adventures in them for generations to come.

What Your Impact Means Globally
Did you know that forests make up 30% of the earth's surface? Planting trees supports Global Goal 15. This Sustainable Development Goal aims to protect, conserve and restore forests, which are vital habitats for millions of species and important sources for clean air and water.

Give Health Care Services for Children
A partnership with the Children's Health Fund
Kid Power Coins can be directed to deliver health care services to kids across the USA through the Children’s Health Fund.
What Your Impact Means Locally
Far too many children in America do not have access to quality health care. With mobile clinics and an expansive network, the Children’s Health Fund goes to where vulnerable children are to give them the health care they need. This is the type of impact your team can make:
- You can help homeless and low-income students get the health care and services they need, such as vaccines and medical check-ups.
- You can help kids like Arianha live a healthy life so they can realize their full potential in school.
- You can help the “Blue Bus,” a pediatric mobile clinic, go to poor rural and urban areas to give check-ups and treatments to sick children.
