Twenty-two years ago The Poshard Foundation for Abused Children was chartered as a public charitable organization. We are an all-volunteer organization with donations coming from individuals and businesses. We receive no state or federal grant support.

Our vision in 1999 was to heal abused children physically and emotionally and to stop the abuse of children.

John A. Logan College generously provided office space and amenities, and the Foundation opened its doors, not knowing what the future held.

During the life of the Foundation, many rewarding relationships have developed with individuals, agencies and organizations in the southern one-third of the state as well as statewide.

We provide funding for children in crisis when other funds are not available.

Whether it is for car seats, beds, counseling, or special medical equipment for the examination of sexually abused children, the Foundation bridges the gap when possible.
