Support Public Policy.

Children Come First (CCF) is a non-profit organization supported entirely through donations made by individuals, community groups, businesses and foundations.   Its primary purpose is to provide a unified voice in advocating for systemic change in South Carolina’s foster care system.  Our goal is to end the problem of SC’s hidden ‘homeless’.  If you care about South Carolina’s abandoned, abused and neglected children, as well as the economic health of our state, we invite you to join our effort.

Because Children Come First is a 501(c) 4 organization, personal contributions are not tax-deductible, though corporate contributions may be considered a business expense. Monies donated to our 501 (c)4 will impact tens of thousands of youth.  Donations are used to shape public policy and strategic legislation focused on keeping our children safe.   Please give us a call for contributions larger than $1,000.   You may also send your contribution to:
