Every day, a child needs us.
Every day, you can be there.
Becoming an Every Day Hero means your monthly gift shows up for children and families – not just when news breaks, but every single day of the year.
Turn Giving into Lasting Change;
Become a Monthly Hero!
One-times gifts matter.
But MONTHLY GIVING creates something even more POWERFUL.
Monthly giving provides a steady and reliable force that lets NCMEC respond to child exploitation and abductions the moment they happen.
Children need help every day: A child does not go missing on a schedule. Neither does the need. Monthly giving means our program's never slow down, wait, and never leave a family behind.
Monthly Funding makes bigger things possible: When we can plan ahead, we can invest in programs like Hope Bags, mental services that produce lasting results. With your support. We can reach more families, train more people, and build the community partnerships that protect children long before a crisis happens.
