Child Inclusion Fund

Child Inclusion Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on making school experiences more inclusive for children whose families need financial assistance. The organization works with schools to identify children who could benefit from support and funds expenses that are often outside the scope of traditional assistance programs. These may include musical instrument rentals, school picture day, field trips, book fairs, pajama day, spirit wear, and holiday gift shop purchases.

The fund recognizes that family income can affect a child’s well-being and participation at school. While other programs may help provide basic necessities, families can still face difficult choices between household needs and the extra activities that contribute to a child’s school experience. Child Inclusion Fund aims to ease some of that pressure by helping children take part in these activities.

The organization also emphasizes the value of reducing income-related stigma and supporting children’s self-esteem and peer acceptance. Its website shares updates, school-year reviews, highlights, and financial reports about its work.
