Make a difference for children. Donate today.
The fight for children happens 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and that’s particularly true as we face such an uncertain future. Please make a gift today to ensure the needs of children remain front and center as our nation confronts the parallel crises of systemic racism and COVID-19—and whatever challenges lie ahead. With your support, we will continue fighting nonstop to make sure our children’s voices are heard in the halls of power and their needs are met with urgency.
What your gift makes possible
Children need stable homes, quality health care, nutritious food, good schools, and safe neighborhoods to succeed. Even before the COVID-19 crisis, these basic building blocks were out of reach for too many children, especially children of color. We’re fighting on all possible fronts to make sure every child in America has what they need to thrive.
Give with confidence
The Children’s Defense Fund is highly rated by many organizations, including GuideStar, Charity Navigator, Great Nonprofits, BBB Wise Giving Alliance, America’s Best Charities, and CharityWatch.
