About Orangewood Children's Foundation

In 1981, a concerned group of private citizens and community leaders established theOrangewood Children's Foundationas a 501(c)3 nonprofit and raised more than $8 million towards the construction of the Orangewood Children's Home. The volunteer-driven effort continued when the Foundation produced an additional $3.2 million for the subsequent expansion of the Home in 1992. Eighty percent of these funds were raised through donations from the private sector.

Ongoing special projects funded byOrangewood Children's Foundationhelp to keep facilities at the Home in peak operating condition. The Foundation continues to support the Home and its young occupants, providing a wide range of programs, activities, equipment, supplies and necessities for the children who reside there. In addition, several hundred volunteers provide hands-on involvement and activities for the children at the Home, supporting the Foundation's efforts through the generous donation of their time and talent.

Orangewood Children's Foundationis governed by a volunteer Board of Directors comprised of more than 30 prominent business and community leaders.
