VisionThe Missouri Children’s Trust Fund envisions children and families in a safe, nurturing and healthy environment, free from child abuse and neglect.Mission
History The Children’s Trust Fund (CTF) was created by the Missouri General Assembly in 1983 as a fund dedicated solely to support child abuse and neglect prevention programs throughout the state. CTF is authorized to enter into contracts with public or private agencies, schools or qualified individuals to establish community-based educational and service programs focused on preventing child abuse and neglect. CTF is also directed to facilitate information exchange between stakeholders interested with child abuse prevention and to provide statewide public education regarding issues facing families and children.

CTF also administers the Community Based Child Abuse Prevention (CBCAP) Federal Grant. CTF has awarded nearly $56 million in prevention funds during its 33-year history.

THE PRACTITIONER’S GUIDE TO COST ANALYSIS FIRST STEPS & Cost Analysis Case Study from Children’s Trust Fund of Missouri
Produced by the University of Kansas Center for Public Partnerships & Research for the FRIENDS National Center for Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention June 2016
.
I have a client who is not living with the baby’s father and she reported that the baby would be sleeping in bed with the father when visiting at his home. The client easily qualified for the Safe Cribs program and once the crib arrived, she and the baby’s father came in for the Safe Cribs educa-tion. I was able to educate both parents about safe sleep and Shaken Baby Syndrome. If it weren’t for this program, this child would be at serious risk for sleep related death. Thank you for this program and the opportunity to be a part of it!
-LPHA Safe Cribs Educator and Prenatal Case Manager
Many of our clients have very limited funds. Garage sales and consignment stores are often the places where they look for cribs. Purchasing a used crib always carries some risk, as the age and history of the item is unknown. Access to the Safe Cribs program allows each mother to provide something new and safe for her child.
