Child Enrichment

What Child Enrichment does

Child Enrichment, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1977/1978 in Augusta, Georgia, by physicians, nurses, and social workers to address the lack of resources for abused children. It delivers comprehensive child advocacy services across a nine-county region in the Greater Augusta area (Burke, Richmond, Columbia, Glascock, Lincoln, McDuffie, Taliaferro, Warren, and Wilkes counties) through three integrated core programs: the Child Advocacy Center (CAC), the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Program, and Prevention Services. The CAC conducts ChildFirst-protocol forensic interviews, provides trauma-focused therapy (TF-CBT, EMDR, PCIT), coordinates Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) response via a 24/7 hotline, and delivers family and medical advocacy. The CASA Program trains and supervises court-appointed volunteer advocates for children in juvenile court deprivation proceedings. Prevention Services delivers evidence-based community training including Darkness to Light's Stewards of Children, Connections Matter Georgia, Mandated Reporter Training, and Safe Sanctuaries training for churches, plus an annual Child Abuse Prevention Conference. In FY 2025, the organization served 1,637 children (1,334 via CAC, 303 via CASA) and trained 648 adults in prevention.

The business model is a diversified nonprofit revenue stack with no fees charged to beneficiaries. Funding sources include individual tax-deductible donations, corporate sponsorships and matching gifts, event-based fundraising (Mahjong for the Mission, Cookin' for Kids oyster roast, Heroes for Hope 5K, Chip in for Children Golf Tournament, monthly Coffee & Conversation), the recurring monthly Hope Society giving program, and legacy/estate planned giving. Operations are delivered through a 2023 state-of-the-art Augusta headquarters, a 2017-established Thomson branch office, and in-person/virtual community training. The organization holds NCA accreditation for the Child Advocacy Center and dual national/state CASA accreditation, and operates as the designated multidisciplinary team coordinator with Georgia DFCS, the District Attorney's Office, and local law enforcement.
