Children's Trust Foundation
For 30 years, Children’s Trust Foundation provided grants through the Endowment to Prevent Child Abuse and Neglect to other organizations with programs at community-based family support centers dedicated to child abuse prevention.
Established in 1982 by dedicated child advocates, Children’s Trust Foundation held a firm conviction that child abuse and neglect can be prevented by supporting families struggling through stress and isolation.
Children’s Trust Foundation distributed more than $1.4 million to programs focused on child abuse prevention, creating a lasting impact in the lives of Washington state's children. This pivotal work continues through the new Children's Home Society & Trust Foundation.
