The Barbara Sinatra Children’s Center Foundation (BSCC Foundation) is a California non-profit benefit corporation and acknowledged by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501 (c) (3) entity. (BSCC Determination Letter)
The BSCC Foundation was established to support the programs of the Barbara Sinatra Children’s Center and to work on prevention and awareness of child maltreatment through the Children’s Center.
Beginning in 2016, the Foundation funded the development of a series of Protect Yourself Rules for children ages 5-12. The animated series of videos is available for use by teachers, after-school providers, parents, and other interested parties by accessing www.fightchildabuse.org. Since 2016 the Foundation has continued to fund the development of new animated videos and animated short films and marketed those assets to teachers, parents, counselors and to teens and adolescents for our Teen Series videos.
Views of our videos has exceeded 300 million worldwide.
The videos are used in many schools throughout the United States in support of Erin’s Law curriculum for child sexual abuse prevention. The BSA is also using the videos for both Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts for youth protection.
The BSCC Foundation supports the treatment programs and operating expenses of the Barbara Sinatra Center for Abused Children. The Center is located on the campus of Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, California. www.barbarasinatrachildrenscenter.org.
The Foundation is managed by professional staff and a Board of Trustees dedicated to the stewardship of the funds donated, invested, and distributed. The Foundation accepts both restricted and unrestricted funds and endowment gifts. All monies must be used for child abuse prevention, awareness and treatment.
