They wait for your help

The Children’s Guardian Fund provides funding to meet emergency needs and enable normalcy and enrichment in the lives of children in foster and state care in Florida’s 12th Judicial Circuit. We also promote public awareness and community support for the children’s needs. And finally, believing that every child removed from their home needs a voice, we provide limited funding to support the recruitment, training and retention of Guardian ad Litem Program volunteers.

The Challenge

To meet the needs of children who have been removed from abusive or neglectful families and placed in the state’s care.

What We Do

Provide resources that help children in foster care develop a sense of normalcy and self-worth.

Our History

Discover how we partner with the Guardian ad Litem program to provide children with a voice and enrich their lives.
