SACRED provides immediate financial assistance to families in need due to the sexual abuse of a child or children, helping cover daily living necessities so families can focus on healing without the added burden of financial stress.
Sexually Abused Children's Relief Endeavor (sacred) centers its grantmaking on immediate financial relief for families dealing with the sexual abuse of a child or children. The foundation routes support through Child Advocacy Centers and other child-advocacy organizations to help cover essentials such as rent, utilities, transportation, food, bedding, lock changes, and other emergency needs. That structure makes the funder’s role clear: it is built for crisis response and family stabilization rather than long-term program funding. Recent awards show a recurring emphasis on child advocacy infrastructure and direct survivor support. Child Protection Center Inc in Kansas City, Missouri received the largest recent grant at $55,871, followed by additional support in later years. Center for Hope in Baltimore, Maryland also appears multiple times, alongside grants to organizations such as Sunflower House in Shawnee, Kansas and Children's Advocacy Centers of Kansas Inc in Wichita, Kansas. The pattern points to a funder that works through established local partners to move money quickly to families facing acute financial stress after abuse. In the available record, every recent grant went to a U.S. recipient.
The foundation’s core work is emergency family assistance after child sexual abuse. It funded Child Protection Center Inc in Kansas City, Missouri with $55,871 for support for victims of sexual abuse, and it made later awards for the same purpose, showing sustained attention to child-advocacy response. A second theme is support for local child advocacy centers that can disburse aid quickly. Children's Advocacy Centers of Kansas Inc in Wichita received grants in both 2023 and 2024, while Children's Advocacy Center of Douglas County in Lawrence, Kansas received support in 2025. The record also includes awards to organizations serving families in specific communities, such as Crisis Center of Anderson and Cherokee Co in Jacksonville, Texas, and Verity Redwood Children's Center in Redwood City, California. These grants align with SACRED’s focus on short-term financial relief tied to trauma recovery and family stabilization.
Typical grants cluster in the low five-figure range, with a p25 of $7,871, a median of $9,502, and a p75 of $17,911. The recent record shows repeat giving to the same recipients across multiple years, which suggests an ongoing partner model rather than one-off gifts. The foundation is a regular funder, not a donor-advised fund, and it does not fund individuals directly. Applications are accepted in some programs through accredited Child Advocacy Centers, which submit requests and receive funds for disbursement.
