Our Capital Campaign continues to make meaningful progress, bringing us closer to expanding our facility and increasing our capacity to serve children and families throughout Sedgwick County.
We are proud to announce that The Wallace Foundation has awarded the Child Advocacy Center of Sedgwick County a $500,000 grant in support of our building expansion project. This transformational investment will help create the additional space and resources needed to meet the growing demand for our services and ensure more children have access to the care, advocacy, and healing they deserve.
This exciting milestone reflects the incredible generosity of our donors, community partners, and supporters who have believed in this vision from the very beginning. Every gift moves us one step closer to creating a safer, more welcoming environment where children and families can receive the comprehensive services they need—all under one roof.
We are sincerely grateful to The Wallace Foundation and to everyone who has contributed to the success of our Capital Campaign. Your support is helping us build a stronger future for children and families across Sedgwick County. We look forward to sharing additional updates as we continue this exciting journey together.

We are proud to officially announce our Opening Doors Capital Campaign and share that we have been awarded the JE & LE Mabee Foundation Capstone Challenge Grant!
The JE & LE Mabee Foundation has awarded the Child Advocacy Center of Sedgwick County a transformational $1.88 million challenge grant, providing tremendous momentum toward our $14 million comprehensive campaign. To secure the full Mabee grant, CACSC must raise an additional $3.8 million by March 2027. This extraordinary investment allows us to continue moving forward with plans to expand our facility, strengthen critical programs, and increase access to life changing services for children and families impacted by abuse and trauma. We are deeply grateful for this opportunity and inspired by the community support helping make this vision possible. Together, we are building a stronger future where more children can find safety, healing, and hope.
We are so thankful for our incredible community and cannot wait to continue sharing updates as this journey unfolds. Your support allows us to continue serving children and families in our community, and we truly could not do this work without you. Thank you for being part of this journey with us!
Thank you to our incredible campaign donors!
