The Children's Charities Foundation

Founded in 1994 by a group of Washington-area business and professional leaders, The Children’s Charities Foundation has distributed nearly $7 million to charities in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area including the District of Columbia; Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties in Maryland; Fairfax and Arlington Counties in Virginia; and the City of Alexandria, Virginia.

There is an acute need to raise money for disadvantaged and at-risk children and youth of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. These funds are essential to maintain and support public and private programs and services for children in need. The Children’s Charities Foundation, which will raise most of its funds from an annual basketball tournament featuring college and university teams and from a gala dinner, will fund non-profit organizations that support disadvantaged and at-risk children by strengthening their health and welfare, supporting strong and cohesive families, and assisting educational and recreational programs.

The Children’s Charities Foundation is a tax-exempt 501 (c)(3) organization chartered and headquartered in the District of Columbia.
