Funding Priorities

The National Children’s Guild Fund (NCFG) allocates funds to three funding priorities, which all support the NCGF’s mission to improve the effectiveness of service delivery and instruction in child-serving organizations and schools to behavior disordered and/or disadvantaged children throughout America.

These funding priorities include:

1. The Children’s Guild: The laboratory. A nonprofit organization founded in 1953 for young people with emotional, behavioral and mental disabilities.
2. The Upside Down Organization: Training and Consultation Center. A nonprofit organization dedicated to the education and advocacy for Transformation Education.
3. Monarch Academy: An Alternative to Education. A public charter school in Glen Burnie, Md., for students in grades K-8 that emphasizes a rigorous, project-based instructional program and integrates the arts across the curriculum.
