Alice's Kids focuses on providing basic necessities, school supplies, services, and entertainment for the children of low-income families.[7][8][9] Company policy implies that children should not guess that helping them is a charity.[10][11]
In most cases, a teacher, coach, or social worker nominates a child who has a specific need.[12] If approved, the grant funding is electronically sent to the nominator, who then uses the funding to take care of the child's needs.[12]
Alice's Kids has worked with celebrities like Steve Carell and Patton Oswalt.[13][14]
