D.C. solicits tax donations for at-risk children. The program it funds doesn’t exist.


In this photo taken in 2014, a receptionist answers the phone at D.C. Trust, a nonprofit that provided grants for programs helping at-risk youth. The Public Fund for Drug Prevention and Children At-Risk that was established in 1991 is apparently in limbo and sitting on $102,000 that can’t be used. No money from the drug prevention and children at-risk fund has been distributed since. The Public Fund for Drug Prevention and Children At-Risk at it appears on D.C. tax forms. This isn’t the first time the tax checkoff for at-risk children has come under scrutiny.
