Description

The D.C. Children's Trust Fund (DCCTF) is a public/private partnership which was established in 1993 as a result of legislation passed by the District of Columbia City Council and authorized by the Mayor. This legislation established the Trust as a private nonprofit organization designed to stimulate innovative programs directed toward the prevention of child abuse and neglect.

Efforts to develop a trust fund in the District of Columbia began in 1989 as a community-based movement which involved parents, social workers, educators, medical and mental health providers, religious, law enforcement and business representatives.

The mission of the D.C. Children's Trust Fund is to foster the well-being of the District's children and their families by leading the way toward the prevention of child abuse and neglect. The Trust serves as a catalyst for prevention efforts by leveraging private and governmental resources, providing resources and technical assistance to community-based organizations, schools, and churches to strengthen families and thereby reduce the risk of child abuse. A major objective of the Trust is to define and develop standards for primary prevention for the D.C. community at-large.
