Empower Families. Transform Lives.

Your support enables the Coalition for Children, Youth, and Families to connect families with the resources, advocacy, and expertise they need to navigate the complexities of child welfare and adoption. Every contribution creates ripple effects that strengthen families and communities across Wisconsin.

Why Your Support Matters

When you invest in the Coalition, you directly impact families at critical moments in their journey:

You help a first-time foster parent access the training they need to care for a child with trauma
You connect a kinship caregiver with resources they didn’t know existed
You empower an adoptive family to navigate complex systems with confidence
You ensure our Resource Specialists can respond when a family reaches out in crisis

The Impact of Your Gift

Your gift isn’t just a donation—it’s a lifeline for families and a foundation for children to build stable, loving futures.

Empowering Through Knowledge

With $100, you’re putting vital training directly in a caregiver’s hands. Imagine a father learning specific techniques to help his child communicate more effectively, reducing family stress and creating breakthrough moments of connection that were previously impossible.
