There are many ways for you to help Voices for Children. We rely on the generosity of foundations, corporations and individuals like you to provide financial support for our core work representing children. Only 15% of our revenue comes from public sources even though the right to a representative is set forth in state and federal law. In order to train 30 more child advocates, we must have a staff attorney supervisor to support the volunteers, monitor the cases and appear in court. Right now we only represent half of the children currently in foster care, and that’s not good enough. We actively solicit grants from corporations, foundations and individuals in the St. Louis community. If you would like to become involved in our fundraising efforts or have ideas to share, please contact the Development Department at 552-2429. We gratefully accept financial donations that work directly for the children supported by St. Louis Voices for Children. We also have a wish list of items that we are looking for. This list is ever-changing and hopefully being filled quickly with your help. If you would like to volunteer your time, that would be great as well. Take a moment and read through our site to see what we offer and how your contributions will make it possible to break the cycle of abuse.
