A Gift for the Future Children's Fund was founded with the purpose of improving the lives of American children. Through the thoughtful gifts of our supporters, A Gift for the Future supports charitable projects and organizations that have a proven record of helping children in the greatest need. The organizations and charities supported through the fund provide many benefits to children. The services these organizations render include: * Creating shelters for children who have been the victims of abuse * Providing advocates, friends, and roll models for children who are wards of the state * Supporting educational programs for parents and children at risk * Providing facilities and activities as alternatives to violent neighborhoods We research every organization thoroughly before donating the funds we raise with your help. Preference is always given to organizations that help large numbers of children in their community and that have large volunteer organizations.
