Heart of Variety Fund – designed to assist families in need.  Families are selected based upon a self-completed application and internal Variety review.  The Fund currently has four separate giving areas:

• Kids on the Go! – equipment, products and other services designed to improve a child with limited mobility’s access to his/her community
• Kids in the Know! – specially designed equipment, products and other services for children with learning disabilities and other barriers in their current educational settings
• Kids in Need! – assists children with their medical needs other than mobility related resources
• Kids in Action! – open area of funding for items and services that do not necessarily fit within one of the three targeted areas of funding

Variety at Work – designed to assist families in need.  Families are selected based upon a self-completed application and internal Variety review.  The Fund currently has four separate giving areas:

• Special Needs Movie Screenings – screenings of family friendly films for those raising children with special needs. Screenings provide a raised lighting and lowered sound volume experience designed to ease a child’s comfort level.  Events are free-of-charge to children and currently take place at three separate venues across North Texas (Arlington, Lewisville and Plano).
• Holiday Party – each year Variety ensures that as many children as possible can share in the holiday spirit. Event includes a screening of a first run family friendly movie, a gift package and more.
• Bikes for Kids – program in which children are presented with a bicycle of their very own, along with a safety helmet, lock and chain. Through our relationships with various agencies, we look for deserving children based upon need, school performance and more
• Additional Events – From time to time Variety will offer special one-time only events such as taking large groups of children to sporting events, museums, movie premiers and the like.
