Our Mission

Children's Trust Foundation is dedicated to preventing child abuse and neglect in Washington State by strengthening families and ensuring the healthy development of children.

Children’s Trust Foundation is the only statewide private non-profit organization or foundation that is targeting funding exclusively to family centers. A small grant of $10,000 to $15,000 may greatly expand a center’s capacity to serve parents—by adding new parenting classes, by hiring a part-time childcare coordinator, or by developing a new anger management program for parents of teens, just to name a few possibilities. Through this kind of support for family centers, our goal is to stabilize, strengthen, and increase locally based family support and prevention resources. We believe this will not only prevent harm to children, but will promote positive, healthy and productive individuals, families and communities in our state.

Our Strategic Goals

1. Increase and stabilize funding to community based, family support programs throughout Washington State.

2. To educate the public about the role of family support centers in preventing child abuse and neglect.

3. To advocate for public policies that support children and strengthening families.
