ABOUT US
Who We Are
Founded in 2016, Giz Kids Foundation is a nonprofit organization focused on supporting children and families through creative, modern, and meaningful educational experiences.
Through our Woof Chat Kids™ initiative, we use storytelling, puppetry, podcasts, and multimedia content to help children feel encouraged, supported, and inspired as they learn important life skills in fun, engaging ways.
We collaborate with healthcare professionals, educators, hospitals, nonprofits, and community partners including organizations such as Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital and Myla’s Beleaf, to create programs that bring comfort, creativity, education, and connection to children both inside and outside healthcare settings.
As technology and learning continue to evolve, Giz Kids Foundation is committed to developing innovative content that connects with today’s children while helping to build confidence, resilience, curiosity, and hope for the future.

Giz Kids Foundation creates engaging educational media for children ages 5–11 through Woof Chat Kids™, including puppet-based videos, podcasts, digital content, and creative learning experiences designed for hospitals, pediatric oncology and wellness programs, schools, camps, after-school programs, and community organizations.
Our programs help children explore topics such as health and wellness, nutrition, STEM learning, digital citizenship, digital literacy, financial literacy, creativity, teamwork, and positive life skills in a fun, safe, and age-appropriate way.
