Children's Enrichment Fund

Grant a Wish

The Children's Enrichment Fund was set up to provide additional services and life experience to children and families in need. The fund pays for a child's enrollment in summer camps, sports activities, individual and family counseling, college tuition, housing, and employment training.

Allow us to share the recent experience of a 5-year-old child who came to one of our foster homes, shy and insecure. Through the TLC Children's Enrichment Fund, she was able to attend gymnastics classes. This was instrumental in raising her self-esteem and helping her make new friends. Today she is doing very well in her foster home where structure and lots of love are making a difference.

Thanks to the generous support of people like yourself and through our fundraising efforts, we have been able to offer children like this 5-year-old girl gain access to valuable opportunities to enrich her childhood which otherwise would not be available.

Who is eligible for enrichment fund grants?

• Any foster care child, foster care or adoptive parents can apply to the enrichment fund for assistance for services or activities at any time.
• Any child, teenager or young adult receiving services from TLC is eligible to apply for a grant.
