About Us
Strengthening children, families, and communities across Wisconsin
The Celebrate Children Foundation recognizes that it is critically important for every child in Wisconsin to grow up in safe, stable, and nurturing relationships and environments. To further this vision, the Foundation enhances statewide endeavors of the Wisconsin Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Board to strengthen families and prevent child maltreatment.
Incorporated in 1999 as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) public charity, the Foundation works in partnership with the Prevention Board to provide communities throughout the state with evidence-based prevention programs and services while engaging in research to develop innovative approaches.
By supporting prevention initiatives and creating a permanent endowment to ensure long-term investments that strengthen children, families, and communities across the state, the Foundation expands (or broadens) this work through resource development.
Donor contributions, grant funding, and sales of Celebrate Children license plates are the primary revenue sources which sustain this work.
The Celebrate Children Foundation advances the mission of the Wisconsin Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Board through resource development to mobilize research and practices to strengthen families and prevent child abuse and neglect in Wisconsin.
Our Vision
Every child in Wisconsin grows up with safe, stable, and nurturing relationships and environments.
Endowment Philosophy
In addition to supporting ongoing programs, donors may choose to maximize the impact of their contributions by designating support for the Foundation's permanent endowment. In doing so donors can ensure long term investments to meet programmatic and financial goals by keeping the principal amount intact while using income from earnings to support the organization's ongoing fiscal demands. This smart and sustainable investment strategy preserves the Foundation’s fiscal fitness into the future, maximizes donor support, and creates a legacy for each donor.
