Older Children in Our Program Need Your Help

A letter from our President and CEO, Ron Carter

Dear Friends, In my 21 years with Children Incorporated, I have noticed that older children in our sponsorship program are often quite difficult to pair with sponsors, even though their needs are just as great as those of our younger children.

Celebrating 60 Years of Children Incorporated

Dear Friends, Before joining the staff of Children Incorporated in 2003, I worked for another child sponsorship organization for over a decade. During that time, I occasionally heard about Children Incorporated from my then co-workers, but no one seemed to know a great deal about the organization founded by Jeanne Clarke Wood in 1964.
