How Give for Kids Started | A Faith-Fueled Mission of Compassion

The Story of Joshua and Melynda Brown

The Heart Behind Give for Kids

A Personal Calling

Joshua and Melynda Brown never set out to start a nonprofit. They simply believed that no child should go without the support, care, and resources needed to thrive. But after witnessing firsthand the struggles many children face—both locally and around the world—they knew they had to do something.

Their journey began with small, personal acts of kindness. Whether it was providing a warm meal to a hungry child, covering school supplies for struggling families, or supporting foster care initiatives, they saw how even the smallest contributions could change lives. But as the need grew, so did their vision.

They asked themselves a simple yet powerful question: What if we could make giving easier? What if we could create a bridge between generous people and children in need—ensuring that every act of kindness led to real, tangible impact? From that idea, Give for Kids was born.

More Than a Charity—A Community of Givers

What sets Joshua and Melynda apart is their unwavering commitment to real impact. They don’t just fundraise; they build relationships. They work closely with local and global partners to ensure that every dollar given is used efficiently and effectively. Their approach isn’t just about charity—it’s about creating lasting change, one child at a time.

Today, Give for Kids stands as a testament to their belief in the power of generosity. With the support of compassionate individuals, businesses, and communities, they are proving that when we give together, we can rewrite the future for children everywhere.

Melynda’s Perspective: Remember to Give

For Melynda, this mission was never about creating a brand. It was about cultivating hearts that remember to give.

She often spoke about living with open eyes and open hands—looking for those who are often overlooked: children, widows, the vulnerable.

“Generosity is not just writing a check,” she said. “It’s about showing up, being aware and acting in love.”
