Help a Child with Your Support


How To Donate To The Child Abuse Council

The Child Abuse Council is a private not-for-profit agency providing treatment, prevention and community education services offered free of charge to our clients.  The Council receives state grants and contracts, is partially funded by United Way, and relies heavily on private foundations, corporations, businesses and individuals to continue to provide excellence in services to Quad City children and their families.
