Dear TeamChild Community,

We are grateful for the support of donors like you which made it possible for us to remain resolute in our work, despite the loss of more than one million dollars.

Youth-serving nonprofits and public programs have faced deep funding cuts this year.  Our community has been impacted as many organizations have closed their doors and government departments have been gutted. We have seen protections for students with disabilities weakening, housing support shrinking, and prevention efforts underfunded. TeamChild experienced a 25% budget cut. We've done the difficult work to reduced costs and staff to remain sustainable. With these changes, combined with generous support from foundations and donors like you, we have made big strides in closing the gap—but a funding gap remains. We hope you’ll help close it.

We invite you to consider making a gift to make it possible for TeamChild to continue to stand with Washington's youth in 2026. 

On behalf of all TeamChild staff, thank you!

Sincerely, 

Karen Pillar, Executive Director
