Children's Trust

Safety. Love. Stability.

It's what every child and family deserves.

At The Children's Trust of South Carolina, it's what we want for all families as well. Our aim is to promote healthy, nurturing relationships between children and adults – because strengthening families is the best way to prevent abuse, neglect and unintentional injuries. Our goal as a public/private nonprofit organization is to see that parents have access to the services they need to make a difference in their lives and in their children's lives. We focus our resources on distributing grants to direct service providers, awareness programs and community engagement.

History

In 2008, to eliminate duplication of programs and to fortify sustainability for initiatives supporting children and families, The Children's Trust of South Carolina became the state's designated 501(c)(3) organization for the prevention of child abuse, neglect and unintentional injuries. This was the result of a merger between Prevent Child Abuse South Carolina, Voices for South Carolina's Children, Children's Trust Fund of South Carolina and Safe Kids South Carolina. The merger of these four nonprofit organizations has been a monumental accomplishment.
