We invite other organizations working to improve the lives of children and families in the United States to join the Coalition.
The National Child Abuse Coalition provides a coordinated effort to educate Congress and the Executive Branch with a united position — raising the visibility of, and providing a strong collective voice on, child maltreatment as a legislative and policy issue. We work to inform a broad legislative agenda focused on improving policies and programs on behalf of vulnerable children and youth.
The Coalition also provides an active, engaging and supportive community for our members. We hold regular meetings to share information, engage in rich policy discussions, strategize, and collaborate in our outreach and advocacy.
New membership requires sponsorship by a current member and approval by current members. Annual dues are required and based on the size of an organization's budget. We offer two types of memberships:
