  The Valley of the Moon Children's Foundation is a private, nonprofit organization established to provide supportive and educational services for the abused, abandoned and neglected children of Sonoma County. The original purpose of raising funds for special touches for the children was greatly expanded to launching a capital campaign to build a new home for the children. To date, in excess of $7.5 million has been raised resulting in the completion of the new home. Fundraising efforts will continue to raise additional funds for the completion of other enhancements to the new home and an administrative wing. The Foundation will continue their support and will focus on four key areas: (1) continued supplemental support for the children in the home; (2) support for emancipated children including education, housing and employment guidance; (3) support for children in foster care and foster parents; (4) community child abuse prevention.
