Give 2 Grow Challenge
Help young scholars grow into their dreams
Each summer for 30 years, caring people like you have sent thousands of kids to Children’s Defense Fund (CDF) Freedom Schools®. As we prepare for our 31st season, we’re asking friends like you to help raise $10,000 by May 31 through the Give 2 Grow Challenge. Your gift prepares children and youth to pursue their dreams. Can we count on you today?
Give with confidence. Children’s Defense Fund is highly rated by many organizations, including GuideStar, Charity Navigator, Great Nonprofits, BBB Wise Giving Alliance, and America’s Best Charities. This recognition is a demonstration of our commitment to accountability and stewardship to our donors and our mission.
Every young person deserves to grow up with dignity, hope, and joy.
That’s why, for 50 years, Children’s Defense Fund has been relentless in our advocacy at the intersection of child well-being and racial justice. Our history is rooted in the Civil Rights and Women’s movements, and we are stewards carrying the fight for equity forward.
We continue to work every day to organize, train, and mobilize with communities to ensure equity and justice for all Black and Brown children and youth. With our work centered on young people, we will make a lasting difference in their lives.
