Celebrate Children Foundation The Celebrate Children Foundation focuses on strengthening families to prevent child maltreatment

The Celebrate Children Foundation recognizes the critical importance for every child in Wisconsin to grow up in safe, stable, and nurturing relationships and environments. To further this vision, the Foundation enhances statewide endeavors of the Wisconsin Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Board to strengthen families and prevent child maltreatment. Incorporated in 1999 as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3)

public charity, the Foundation works in partnership with the Prevention Board to spread evidence-informed prevention programs and services to communities across the state, while engaging in research to develop innovative approaches. Through resource development, the Foundation expands this work by supporting prevention programs and building a permanent endowment to ensure long-term investments that build strong children, families, and communities statewide. Donor contributions, grant funding, and sales of Celebrate Children license plates are the primary revenue sources which sustain this work. Child maltreatment is a significant public health issue across the nation according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Prevention Board works to prevent child abuse and neglect before it happens and to address early indications by proactively building safe, stable, and nurturing relationships and environments. This approach is found to protect children, increase resilience, and contribute to long-term well-being. In comparison, treatment or intervention is aimed at responding to and eliminating child maltreatment once it has occurred.

Our society is like a tightly woven fabric of support systems that help families thrive. When those systems weaken, the fabric starts to fray. Diaper insecurity is a tear in that fabric. According to The NDBN Diaper Check 2026 report, nearly 1 in 2 U.S. families struggles to afford diapers. Together, we can repair the holes and create strong communities by ensuring families have the basic material necessities we all require to thrive.

Summer days can bring a little extra screen time — but a simple way to find balance is to make time for stories, too.

A great children’s book helps kids slow down, reset, and use their imagination. Plus, reading together creates meaningful moments of connection and conversation.

Even 10-15 minutes with a favorite book helps children calm down, enjoy a little quiet, and reset with you.
