You can make a difference in the life of a child
General donations to Voices of Courage provide…
- A safe place for a child to tell what happened. The child will meet with one of our Forensic Interviewers who are trained to reduce that child’s trauma by safely gathering information needed for the investigators.
- Support – every family experiencing trauma needs someone to guide them through ‘what happens next’. Our Advocate provides that listening ear, help with referrals to needed services, and support throughout the process.
- Therapy for the child provided by our Mental Health Professionals. There is no cost to the family for this much needed service.
- Prevention Programming – children and adults should know what abuse is, learn the signs and how to react and respond. We can help with that.
Donations can also be mailed to:

You may be eligible for tax credits
Voices of Courage qualifies for the Champion for Children (CFC) Tax Credit by the Missouri Department of Revenue. Any contribution with a donation value of $100 or more is eligible for a tax credit of up to 50% of the amount of the qualifying donation.
A donation of $150 provides an hour of therapy for a child. Every $250 donated provides one forensic interview, allowing a child to safely disclose their abuse. Or, your donation of $250 provides a family with an advocate who can help guide them through the system and connect them to community services. Every donation of $200 allows us to provide a prevention education program to children, helping keep children in our communities safer.
All of the families who utilize our services pay NOTHING.
