What We Do with Donations

Through donations, the Fort Wayne Children’s Foundation can expand our impact in the Fort Wayne community. We will have the ability to sponsor even more local nonprofit programs dedicated to ending the cycle of abuse in children. The more revenue we generate, the more money we are able to give out in grants to help improve the lives of those suffering at either end of trauma and the healthier the great Fort Wayne community becomes. Take the first step and donate to help end child abuse!

Who Donations Support

Donations support those in need in the greater Fort Wayne community. Children suffering under abuse or neglect from their families are able to seek resources through their schools and communities. Families in times of need are also given more access to housing, advocacy, medical, and counseling resources, providing them means to support themselves to not further the cycle of abuse for their children.

"The Fort Wayne Children's Foundation funded the non-profit that housed me and my daughter when we were homeless."
