"NWCF focuses on ending the cycle of child abuse and neglect and bringing hope and compassion to children in need. They effectively distribute funds among hundreds of social service agencies, thus positively impacting thousands of lives. NWCF has helped to improve the state of child welfare in our community."

"NWCF is viewed as the premier children's Foundation in our community and a grant received provides other funders with a high level of confidence in Olive Crest and the work we do for kids."

"Interviews by Board Members have made the application and award process much richer than any other grant-making body with whom we have been involved. Their questions are insightful and serious… with their obvious passion to help abused and neglected children, their interest and commitment provide inspiration and motivation."

"It is a pleasure to collaborate with members of the NWCF Board. They show a deep understanding of the issues facing children who are victims of abuse and neglect. It is rare for a foundation board to ask such high quality questions that help service providers both clarify and improve the work they do on behalf of youth."

"Your grants show a tangible commitment from the community to support permanence for children who have suffered neglect and abuse and whose parents are no longer able to care for them. And the public show of support that a NWCF grant bestows upon an organization like Amara is an honor that we treasure and communicate with pride."
