Our Mission

Summer camp,  music lessons, sports teams, academic tutoring are all experiences that create strong, resilient children. If you are a child in foster care those activities may never happen for you.  The state only pays for basics.

The Cape Fear Guardian ad Litem Association has changed that for children in New Hanover and Pender Counties.  Local foundations, businesses and many individual donors have contributed over $1 million to CFGALA in the last 19 years to "help a kid be a kid".  Every dollar goes directly to our children to fulfill the dreams they share with their very own court-appointed Guardian ad Litem.  With your support, those moments will create memories that will fuel a child's future.

  • CFGALA support allows children to enjoy experiences that help them thrive, not just survive. Read about the special moments from some of our children and some of volunteers.

  • Each donation - small, medium, or large - brings this boys and hundreds like him closer to opportunities they will never forget. Join us and be part of his story.
