The Workers’ Children’s Fund was established in 1986 by Child Welfare Workers of the San Francisco Department of Human Services (DHS). The organization was formed in response to what was seen as a serious shortfall in available resources for abused and neglected children who had been receiving services through DHS. The Fund has continued to expand the range of services offered throughout the years, most significantly with the addition of a College Scholarship program in 1991. The WCF board has always enjoyed a cooperative relationship with DHS management and staff. The WCF is a non-profit organization with 501(c)3 status. We have no paid staff and all funds raised go directly to the youth we serve. ©2011 Workers’ Children’s Fund.
