Ways to Give

Childhood trauma doesn't wait.

Neither do we. Every gift on this page goes to work for a child in Palm Beach County who needs to feel safe, learn, and heal — starting now.

What kind of giver are you?

Pick the sentence that sounds most like you, and we'll point you to the right place.

Give where it matters most

“I trust you. Put it where it counts.”

Then the Lead the Fight Fund is your answer. Unrestricted gifts are the most useful dollars we receive, because they let us move fast: a child in crisis this week, a specialist in a school this semester, a training cohort next month. No grant cycle, no restrictions, no delay.

Give to the Fund How it works

Become a monthly donor

“I’d rather give a little, all year long.”

Monthly giving is the most valuable commitment a donor can make, and the easiest on your budget. $25 a month is $300 a year, and it means we can promise a family in March that we’ll still be there in November. You can change or stop it any time.

Set Up Monthly Giving See what it funds

Name a space or fund the future

“I want something permanent, with my family’s name on it.”

Two paths. The Promise of Place lets you name a room in the Family Visitation Center, starting at $7,500. The Innovation Fund, for gifts of $25,000 and above, funds the approaches nobody else is paying for yet. Both start with a conversation, not a checkout page.

Give time, goods, or your voice

“Money is tight, but I want to do something real.”

Send an item from the wish list and it goes straight into a therapy room. Volunteer your time and skills. Check whether your employer matches gifts, which can double what you give. Or simply tell people what we do — awareness is how families find us.

Where the Need Is Greatest

The Lead the Fight Fund

Because healing should begin before trauma becomes a lifetime burden.

This is our most flexible and most powerful fund. It lets us respond to a child in crisis this week, keep a mental health specialist embedded in a school, teach a classroom to stay safe, and train the next generation of trauma-informed professionals — without waiting for a grant cycle.

When you give here, you tell us to put your dollars wherever a child needs them most.

Crisis Response

Immediate help for a child who cannot wait for an opening.

In Schools

Mental health specialists embedded where children already are.

Prevention

KidSafe reaching more than 60,000 children.

“In just the very first session, I could see a meaningful change in my son.”

See Your Impact

What your gift actually funds

Choose an amount and see exactly what it becomes in the hands of a child.

Your $50 gift

One Play Therapy session for a child healing from trauma.

For a young child, play is the language. This is the hour where a therapist finally learns what happened, because the child could show it instead of saying it.

Your $250 gift

A month of mental health consultation at a partner school or childcare center.

A specialist working alongside teachers, so a struggling four-year-old gets understood instead of expelled.

Your $1,000 gift

A full course of evidence-based therapy for a child and family.

Not a session. The whole arc, start to finish, for one child and the adults who care for them.

Your $5,000 gift

A fully equipped play therapy room.

Sand tray, dollhouse, art supplies, sensory tools. Every object is there because it helps a child say something they cannot yet put into words.

As a monthly donor

You keep art supplies and books stocked in therapy rooms all year.

$120 a year, arriving quietly in the background, is what lets us say yes on a Tuesday afternoon without checking the budget first.

As a monthly donor

You fund six Play Therapy sessions a year.

$300 annually. That is most of a healing arc for one young child, delivered in the steady rhythm the work actually requires.

As a monthly donor

You keep a mental health specialist in a classroom for over two months.

$600 a year reaches every child in that room, not just the one who was referred.

As a monthly donor

You underwrite a full course of therapy for a child and family, every year.

$1,200 annually. One family finishes their entire course of care because you decided to be steady.

The Steadiest Way to Help

Become a monthly donor

A child's healing doesn't happen in one appointment. It happens over months of steady, patient work. Monthly giving matches the way the work actually happens.

It also means we can plan. When we know what's coming, we can commit to a family in March for the whole year ahead.

Set Up Monthly Giving

Our Promise to You

What happens after you give

You should never have to wonder where your gift went. Here's what you can count on from us.

A real thank-you, fast

Every gift is acknowledged personally within 48 hours, with a receipt for your records. Never an auto-reply, and never silence.

You see the results

The Donor Dispatch brings you stories, photography, and plain numbers each month, so you can watch your gift go to work.

Your gift stays yours

Restricted gifts go exactly where you designated them. If we ever cannot honor an intent, we come back and ask you first.

Privacy Comes First

Every story we share with donors uses fictional names, and no identifying information about a child or family ever appears in our materials. Center for Child Counseling is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and gifts are tax-deductible as allowed by law.
