The Illinois Child Abuse Prevention Fund offers a unique opportunity for taxpayers to help prevent child abuse and neglect in our state. Individuals are asked to contribute on Line 28B of their Illinois State Tax Form. All donations received from Line 28B go directly to the Illinois Child Abuse Prevention Fund.

This fund helps to develop and maintain community programs and services such as parenting education related to child abuse prevention; safety issues for children affected by child abuse and domestic violence; and public awareness and educational programs on child abuse prevention.

Contributions to this fund may be made whether an individual is receiving a tax refund or not, and all contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowable by law.
