Growing Future-Ready Kids, One Story at a Time!
Giz Kids Foundation is a nonprofit on a mission to become the leading voice in children's education for Global Citizenship and Financial Literacy. Through the magic of puppetry, storytelling and play, we give every child the skills, confidence and imagination they need to thrive in a fast-changing digital world — no matter their background or zip code.
Every Child Deserves a Bright Future
Today's kids are curious, creative and hungry to learn. But too many face barriers — limited resources, learning differences, and a world that moves faster than any classroom can keep up with.
At Giz Kids Foundation, we believe opportunity shouldn't depend on a child's circumstances. That's why we use lovable puppet characters and real-world stories to model kindness, resilience, smart thinking and global awareness — in ways kids actually connect with.
When children see themselves in our characters, they begin to see what they can become.
Learn through play. Grow through story. Change the world.
Meet Max
A New Kind of Hero!
Max isn't your typical hero. He's a little scattered, sometimes unsure of himself, and not afraid to ask for help. And that's exactly why kids love him.
When Max gets his very first tablet, a whole new world opens up! With his loyal friends by his side, he learns to navigate the digital world safely, think critically before he clicks, and grow right alongside the technology shaping his future.
Max also has a BIG dream: he started the Woof Chat Waves podcast with his canine and sea friends at sunny Tide Rider Beach — and now he's saving up, coin by coin, for a brand-new microphone. Along the way, he discovers that patience, planning and a little help from your friends can make any dream come true.
Max is the kind of hero this generation needs — relatable, growing and full of heart.
