Good afternoon!

I wanted to share some exciting news; the Beau Biden Foundation in partnership with Prevent Child Abuse Delaware, has been awarded a Longwood Foundation grant for 2019 (a 2 year grant), to implement comprehensive training of children and educators in the highest Title I school districts in Delaware. The BBF portion of the grant, which we much match, is $128,263, and we will be responsible for the education of school personnel in child sexual abuse prevention.

This is our largest grant to date, and was quite a competitive process. The team worked very hard to put together a compelling project, and to demonstrate the importance of education in the prevention of child sexual abuse.
We will begin the work on this grant in July 2019; we expect to receive our portion of the first year, $64,230 before the end of this calendar year. We will train 7500 educators and staff through this project.

Thank you for your continued support in carrying out the mission!

Best—
Patty

“We have seen the progress that can be made when society commits to shining a bright light on a crime like domestic violence, and we are seeing the beginning of what can be accomplished if we continue shining that bright light on child abuse. As adults, we have a legal and moral obligation to stand up and speak out for children who are being abused. These children cannot speak for themselves.” —Beau Biden
