The Children’s Trust Fund (CTF) aims to support children and their families in leading healthy, happy and productive lives.

Your voice and actions matter: 

• Join the DRIVE to protect kids! For an annual donation of $25, you can  promote the importance of child abuse and neglect prevention by  purchasing a CTF specialty license plate.  The exposure of the tags generates awareness, and the funds collected support prevention programs throughout Missouri.
• Getting a tax refund?  Check off child abuse. Look for the handprints on your Missouri State Income Tax Return and designate any amount over $2 to CTF by checking the box to contribute through the Tax Check-off Program.  Your contribution may either be deducted from your refund or added to the amount owed.
• General donation. Give throughout the year.  Please remember that CTF is a non-profit 501c(3) entity, so your contribution is tax deductible.
• Matching gift contributions. Speak with your company’s human resources department to find out if can Double the Donation (see related information at the bottom of this page).  Your company may agree to match employee donations made to CTF.
• Tributes, In Honor, Memorials.  To make a tribute to someone/something, or to honor someone special or the memory of a loved one, consider designating CTF as the recipient of tribute, honorary or memorial donations.
• Missouri State Employee Charitable Campaign (MSECC).  Through MSECC, Missouri State employees may designate contributions to specific charitable organizations such as CTF through a payroll deduction method.
• Reach out to Missouri legislators. Talk to your State Senator or State Representative about funding for child abuse and neglect prevention, strengthening families and support for CTF.
• Get involved in prevention activities. CTF can help identify programs in your community that support child abuse prevention.
• Shop Amazon Smile. Sign up on Amazon.com for their Smile campaign and designate Missouri Children’s Trust Fund Board as your chosen recipient.  Every time you shop through the Amazon Smile portal, a portion of our purchase price will e given to CTF t no additional cost.
• #GivingTuesday. CTF has become a #GivingTuesday partner to encourage families and individuals to be generous in whatever ways matter to them, whether that means volunteering at a local charity or donating to a favorite cause.

Thank you!  Strong Families, Safe Kids
