Welcome!
We believe our support of programs and initiatives that promote positive parenting practices and
encourage strong, healthy families will ensure a brighter future for all Arkansans.
Arkansas Children's Trust Fund
The Arkansas Children’s Trust Fund provides a permanent
funding source for the prevention of child abuse in
Arkansas.  Collected funds are disbursed in the form of
grants to organizations or individuals that operate programs
with a proven child abuse prevention component.
What's New
Arkansas Parenting Education Network
The Arkansas Parenting Education Network (APEN)
promotes parent education and family involvement to
empower parents and caregivers to effectively interact with
their children.  We believe this is an important element of
fostering successful children, strong families and caring
communities.

The Board occasionally engages in collaborative efforts with
other organizations or undertakes initiatives of its own.  To
