Help Fund Our Students with a Cash Donation

The Children's Welfare League works in partnership with guidance counselors from county and city high schools. Counselors recommend students in good academic standing with a demonstrated financial need. Each student receives a monthly stipend of $40 with an additional $50 for the holidays and upon graduation.  Typically, students use the money to supplement basic necessities like rent, groceries and personal supplies. They also use it for school fees, field trips and, sometimes, to just be able to join their friends in typical teen activities like a night at the movies.

In the academic year 2021-2022 305 students took part in this program and there are waiting lists at every school.

The cost to sponsor one student annually is $500. We hope that you will consider sponsoring one or more students but donations at any level are greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your support!
