About
OUR STORY
During the frigid winter of 1873 a little girl died, leaving behind her tiny savings of ninety cents – eleven coins in all. The coins were two quarters, one dime, four half dimes, three three-cent pieces, and one cent.
Our story began with a tiny bequest and a big vision to provide aid to poor, homeless children. In 1879, the Baptist Orphanage of Philadelphia was established.
The humble gift presented so long ago was, in essence, a form of what we now refer to as Planned Giving. If your thoughts are on estate planning, we ask to be remembered in your Will so that at-risk youth can receive care for generations to come. Thank you.
MISSION
The mission of ChildPromise, Inc. is to support quality residential and educational services for children and youth. Furthermore, we are committed to fostering a sense of responsibility and accountability in children and youth, by creating opportunities.
