Children's Defense Fund

Giving Tuesday Now + Children in Crisis Fund

John,

In the rising tide of dire predictions and often conflicting information about COVID-19, our children’s calls for help are at risk of getting drowned out. America’s children can count on the Children’s Defense Fund to be the loudest voice in the room on their behalf—today and always.

Thanks to a generous anonymous donor, every gift made before midnight on Tuesday, May 5, up to $50,000 will be doubled. That means your gift will go twice as far to support our urgent work on behalf of the most vulnerable children and families, including:

Redirecting our policy advocacy to address the needs of children being harmed by the COVID-19 crisis—including children in the child welfare system, children going hungry, and children without homes where they can stay safe.
Retooling our community-based programs like CDF Freedom Schools® to be able to provide essential education and enrichment for children who will need it this year more than ever.
Ramping up our public education and outreach to make sure families can access life-saving tools and information, like those found on our COVID-19 resource hub.

Ensure vulnerable children will not get left behind.

The Children’s Defense Fund has been a loud voice for America’s children for more than 45 years, and we won’t be quiet now. When you make a gift to the Children in Crisis Fund for #GivingTuesdayNow, you’re raising your voice alongside ours.
