The mission of the Yolo Children's Fund, Inc. is to enhance the quality of a disadvantaged child's life by providing funds for a special project, gift, need or opportunity that would otherwise go unmet.
Children at risk often become involved with the court system as an abused or neglected child, often as a result of a parent's substance abuse, violence, or other criminality.
In cases involving children who are at risk, the court appoints an attorney and/or a CASA Advocate to represent the best interest of the child. The current maximum award is $250.
SPECIAL SUMMER FUNDS--2008
The Yolo Children's Fund has received a grant for special summer activities. These activities might be an equestrian camp, a nature camp, beginning dance or acrobatics, or an activity in which the child has expressed a career interest.
This request can be made on the special Yolo Children's Fund Summer application form. Awards will be granted up to a maximum of $600. Receiving a special summer award will not prevent a child from receiving a regular Yolo Children's Fund gift award.
A paper or electronic application can be obtained from Administrative Director John Cron by calling him at (530) 758-2299 or e-mailing him at JohnCron@aol.com.
