The Wonderfund makes moments that matter for children engaged with the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families.
We partner with the Wonderfund to provide comfort and dignity to children in traumatic situations with the hope of enriching childhoods that have been impacted by abuse and neglect.

The Fun Stuff
Enrichment
Investing in moments; things like music lessons, SAT prep, and soccer camp. These moments build confidence, character and foster lifelong respect for themselves and others by keeping their minds and bodies active outside of school. We believe that every child deserves to do the things they love and our goal is to enrich our kids lives.
The Tough Stuff
Emergency Aid
Providing comfort for thousands of children who experience home removal every year, often with only the clothes on their back. Emergency Aid gift cards and/or a new duffel bag filled with seasonally appropriate clothing, pajamas, socks and underwear to give each child something to call their own lessens trauma and allows children to feeling safe and secure during their most challenging transitions.

100% of kids experiencing emergency home removals received Wonderfund aid.
30,090 kids received enrichment opportunities.
47% more kids attended camp than last year.
