Help Us Check Off Child Abuse & Neglect
Tax season is in full swing. During this tax season we ask that you please remember the Children’s Trust Fund. Your gift to CTF through Missouri’s Tax Check-off Program makes a BIG difference in the life of a child at risk for abuse and neglect. A child’s experiences have a direct link to their health and well-being in adulthood. Investing in children early in their life is key to helping them have a successful future. Last year generous Missourians donated $133,308 to CTF through the tax check-off program. This year, thanks to Missourians like you, we are hopeful to equal and even exceed that amount. So whether you file electronically or the traditional way, it’s easy to make a donation to CTF. Just look for the child’s handprints. Check out our new :30 video. With your help we ARE making a difference in preventing abuse and neglect and building strong families.
