Be a Champion for Foster Children

Give Hope

Nurture Potential, Change Lives

Each year, about 400 children in New Hanover and Pender counties are adjudicated as victims of abuse and neglect.

Change a foster child’s story by providing educational and enrichment opportunities to help them succeed.

Our Mission

Create a Brighter Future

For 25 years, the Cape Fear Guardian Ad Litem Association (CFGALA) has partnered with volunteer advocates to provide essentials like tutoring, summer camp, clothing and school supplies. Through the generosity of donors, we help ensure every foster child feels supported, loved and empowered to succeed.

$44K Grant Awarded from The Endowment

We’re excited to share that CFGALA has recently received a generous $44,000 grant from The Endowment! A portion of this funding will directly support initiatives like our Anchored In Advocacy event—an important opportunity to bring our community together and raise awareness for the needs of children in foster care.

We are deeply grateful to The Endowment for believing in our mission and investing in the future of the children we serve. Together, we are building stronger foundations and brighter futures.
