The Child Protection Center, Inc. (CPC) has been awarded $80,000 in funds through the generosity through the Community Foundation of Sarasota County, Inc. and the William G. and Marie Selby Foundation. These grants provide necessary funding for the updates and replacement of the nonprofit’s elevator to ensure code compliance and reliability.

The office in Sarasota is a state-of-the-art facility that houses the Child Protection Team (CPT) on the second floor. CPT is legislatively mandated and works with the DCF and local law enforcement on the cases of children who are suspected victims of physical and sexual abuse and neglect, and facilitates forensic interviews, medical assessments, and court testimonies. Doug Staley, Executive Director of the Child Protection Center, commented on the increasing need for child abuse services within the community.  The Child Protection Center’s mission is the Prevention, Intervention,  and Treatment of Child Abuse, as the organization envisions a community where children are safe from abuse and free to thrive.
