RFK Children's Action Corps relies on generous donations in order to care for some of our communities' most vulnerable children. While the majority of our funding comes from state contracts, this funding does not adequately cover the cost of providing quality service.

We rely on private philanthropic support to achieve a margin of excellence, shape new initiatives and develop effective responses to the latest challenges. We must raise $1.5 million in private support this year in order to realize our goals and priorities.

Your generous gift can help provide:

• Intensive one-on-one therapy for traumatized children through a trained clinician.
• Specialized reading and computer training for children through an education specialist.
• Therapeutic outdoor educational programs.
• Educational items, including textbooks and computer software.
• Items to help give children in our care a sense of "normalcy," including duffel bags for weekend home visits, winter coats and boots.

RFK Children's Action Corps manages its budget efficiently. With only 10.8 percent of funds used for administrative purposes, nearly 90 cents of every dollar received directly benefits the children and families we serve.

Thank you for providing your most generous gift possible. Together, we are making a difference in the life of a child.
