3 Easy Ways to Get Involved

You and/or your organization join with others as a positive presence of support in the belief that child abuse and neglect can be prevented.

Your investment in healthy development contributes to community and economic development as flourishing children become the foundation of a thriving society.

Estimates show that implementing effective policies and strategies to prevent child abuse and neglect can save our nation’s taxpayers more than $104 billion a year.

Taking responsibility to create safe and nurturing environments in which to raise our children leads to happy and healthy children.

We are Michigan’s only independent statewide, nonprofit organization dedicated to prevention.

We serve as a voice for Michigan’s children and families by promoting health, safety and strong well-being.

The Trust Fund supports local programs and services throughout Michigan to prevent child maltreatment.

Children’s Trust Fund does not receive state general funds. It relies on grants and revenues from donations and campaigns to impact the lives of more than 6 million children and families.

• Promote Prevention Awareness Day to other individuals and/or organizations (Facebook, Twitter and other forms of social media are good ways to promote the event).

• Attend the rally event on April 19, 2016, and be a part of Legislative Education Day.
