Over the last 40 years, Variety has provided more than 400 Variety Vans to children’s organizations in Iowa. These vans transport children to doctors' appointments, therapy sessions, and special outings or activities.
Van applications should be submitted via email by noon on Friday, May 23, 2025 to grants@varietyiowa.com.
Variety – the Children’s Charity provides Variety Vans to nonprofit organizations that deliver care, treatment, activities, and shelter to children who are at-risk, underprivileged, critically ill, and living with special needs. Variety Vans must be used to transport children. This would include trips to doctors’ appointments, therapy sessions, special outings, or activities that relate to the nonprofit organization’s programming efforts.
“Our Variety Van takes kids places they didn’t know existed and exposes them to a world of possibilities. Getting our kids into the community is the most effective way we can motivate and inspire them.”
