The Child Well-Being Foundation
The American Legion Child Welfare Foundation was created in 1954 to contribute to the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual welfare of children and youth.
We do this through the dissemination of knowledge about new and innovative organizations and/or their programs designed to benefit youth; and to contribute to the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual welfare of children and youth through the dissemination of knowledge already possessed by well-established organizations, to the end that such information can be more adequately used by society. The FOUNDATION though created by The American Legion, it is actually a separate corporation.
The American Legion Child Welfare Foundation is now called the Child Well-Being Foundation. On Oct. 6 during the annual Fall Meetings of The American Legion, a motion was made and voted on by the American Legion CWF board of directors to change the name of the foundation to one that encompasses the overall needs of the whole child and all aspects of their physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing.
​
The Child Well-Being Foundation will still have the acronym CWF. Learn more about the foundation.
