Help Prevent Child Abuse and Neglect!

The Children’s Trust Fund initiative works to increase access to innovative services that strengthen families and prevent child abuse.

The Children’s Trust Fund receives most of its revenue from the sale of its license plates ($42 for autos, $22 for motorcycles).
