ABOUT US
Our Networks
Alaska Children’s Trust is well-suited to do our important work thanks to strong relationships with national organizations.
Relationships with nationwide organizations help us achieve our mission.
Thanks to the Children’s Trust Fund Alliance, Prevent Child Abuse America, and Annie E. Casey Foundation’s KIDS COUNT Network, Alaska Children’s Trust has the data, connections, and resources to work towards our mission of preventing child abuse and neglect.

Prevent Child Abuse Alaska
Alaska Children's Trust is home to Prevent Child Abuse Alaska. Through this national partnership with Prevent Child Abuse America, we take advantage of national resources and relationships that allow us to learn and grow from best practices in other states.
Prevent Child Abuse America, founded in 1972 in Chicago, works to ensure the healthy development of children nationwide. The organization promotes that vision through a network of chapters in 50 states and over 500 Healthy Families America home visitation sites in 41 states, all the territories, Puerto Rico and Canada. A major organizational focus is to advocate for the existence of a national policy framework and strategy for children and families while promoting evidence-based practices that prevent abuse and neglect from ever occurring.
