What is the Illinois Child Abuse Prevention Fund?
The Illinois Child Abuse Prevention Fund offers a unique
opportunity for taxpayers to help prevent child abuse and neglect in our
state. All donations received from Line 28B go
directly to the Illinois Child Abuse Prevention Fund. This fund
helps develop and maintain community programs and services such as
parenting education related to child abuse prevention; safety issues for
children affected by child abuse and domestic violence; and public
awareness and education programs on child abuse prevention.
Contributions to this fund may be made whether an individual is
receiving a tax refund or not and all contributions are tax deductible
to the extent allowable by law.
It has been proven that prevention is the most effective
way to truly diminish child abuse and neglect. For the past 25
years, our nation has been learning about the stark realities of child
abuse and neglect. Many new programs have been established to
support and educate parents, strengthen families and involve communities.
Progress has been made. With your support, donations to this
important fund will grow and programs will be expanded to protect
children and strengthen families throughout the state. Together we
can stop the cycle of abuse that continues to be a devastating problem
for your children and our future.
You can make a difference in the life of a child.
