Contribute to CRT

Through our clinical and research programs we provide children and families with services that give them a chance to function at their very best and live the lives they are meant to live. Many families who adopt high-risk children have limited financial means to enlist professional help when they encounter difficulties. Most cannot afford to receive the high quality services that their at-risk children so critically need. At CRT, we do our best to ensure that families receive essential interventions, regardless of their financial status. Children's Research Triangle depends on the generosity of private donors, corporations and foundations to support our programs.

In 2006-2007 CRT received several generous foundation grants. The Michael Reese Health Trust is funding our dyadic parenting groups, which allow parents and children to build stronger relationships in a supportive environment. Our trauma therapy groups will be funded by Chicago Tribune Charities-Holiday, a fund of the McCormick Tribune Foundation. The Peacock, Rice and Keck foundations help us provide the Camp SOAR experience to children at an affordable cost; 70% of the operation of the camp is subsidized by foundations and individual contributions. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we have been able to offer camp scholarships. The support of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Chicago Board of Trade foundations enable us to provide clinical services to families who are not able to pay the full fees, and the Illinois Attorney General's Violent Crime Victim's Assistance grant supports our work with traumatized children and adolescents.

We are grateful to all of our donors who allow us to continue to work with many families in need of services. Your generous contribution will:

Provide services such as comprehensive medical and psychological assessments, as well as individual, family and group interventions for families who could not otherwise pay for treatment.
Support the costs of Camp SOAR, so that we can keep our tuition low for families who already have many medical and treatment expenses.

With your help we can fulfill our commitment to provide services to families who could not otherwise afford the benefit of state-of-the-art interventions. The staff at CRT is dedicated to providing needed services, thus inspiring hope and confidence, to the children and the devoted parents who want the best for them. We look forward to having the opportunity to make a difference together and provide very special children a chance to grow into their dreams.
