THANK YOU to our FORUM PARTNERS
Now in its fourth decade, NW Children’s Foundation is harnessing the power of collaboration to lead the fight against childhood trauma, providing more opportunities for dedicated people to join hands and find solutions together. NW Children’s Foundation works to end the intergenerational cycle of child abuse, neglect, and trauma by investing in effective programs for children and families, and by convening researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders around important issues in child welfare. • Our grants support prevention, early intervention, and treatment programs working to heal children, strengthen families, and empower youth. • Our education and outreach programs foster learning and collaboration to improve community-wide outcomes for children. NW Children’s Foundation’s strength and meaning come from its unique role in catalyzing our community’s commitment to child welfare. NWCF partners with donors, service providers, researchers, and other stakeholders to inspire a network of support on behalf of the children who need it most. Through its ongoing community education, thorough grant review process, and use of best practices and available research on child welfare, NWCF maximizes the impact of every donor contribution, regardless of size. NW Children’s Foundation is a public foundation, which means we need to raise funds through individual contributions and events each year to accomplish our mission. Your contribution is important!
