The Children's Foundation (TCF) is a non-profit organization founded in 1994 and incorporated in 1995 for the purpose of helping children and youth in needy or
desperate circumstances. The goal of The Children's Foundation is to provide hope, opportunity, to restore and positively change lives. To accomplish this our emphasis has been the support of three major projects: Casa Hogar Los Angelitos, an orphanage in Manzanillo, México, Ministerios de Amor, an outreach project in Southern Mexico, and The F.E.E.D. Scholarship Fund, a fund which provides scholarships for young people with financial need, and limited opportunities for traditional scholarships.
