Unfortunately, despite my best efforts, I was unable to find enough independent, reliable coverage for this foundation. All I found were links to sites that either sell their products or do not appear to be independent. While I would support such an organization, Wikipedia is not here to tell the world about your noble cause. Being an autistic person, I believe that nominating this article is quite a shame. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything that would establish notability. I would probably change my mind however if someone else finds something that I missed.

Per the coverage found below, I am now withdrawing this nomination. I wonder how my Google search failed me this time. Thanks for the sources MrX and Uzma Gamal. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 13:52, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with San Marcos High School (Santa Barbara, California) - there's enough notability in the regional links for that much at least, but far too little to support a standalone article. Seems like a great idea though as far as a charitable effort is concerned. Sidatio (talk) 01:15, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I found 4,219 news articles for "Kids Helping Kids" on NewsBank, and 14 on NesBank and 16 on Google News for "Kids Helping Kids" + "Santa Barbara" (Santa Barbara Independent, Times-Herald , Ventura County Star, San Jose Mercury News). Unless there are other organizations with the same name, this one seems notable, at least on a regional level. - Mr X 02:45, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Seems to be enough source maaterial to meet WP:GNG: [1][2][3]. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 04:52, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There's sufficient coverage by secondary sources, as demonstrated above. Meets the general notability guideline.--xanchester (t) 13:32, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
