About us
Founded in 1915 as an orphanage in the District of Columbia, NCCF is a private, nonprofit child and family welfare agency with a commitment to serving poor, disadvantaged, abused, neglected and/or abandoned children, youth, and their families. Current program services include emergency shelters and transitional housing for homeless families, a high-intensity therapeutic group home, therapeutic and traditional foster care and adoption, independent living for youth transitioning to adulthood, teen parent services, and community-based prevention services that promote academic achievement, parental involvement, economic and vocational stability, and healthy families. Our programs have become social service models, redefining both NCCF’s reputation and the agency’s position in the human service continuum in the Washington Metropolitan Region.

For this year's HeART of Community Gala, we are delighted to highlight one of our special guests, Life Pieces To Masterpieces! Like NCCF, this organization is committed to providing artistic opportunities to underrepresented youth. Founded in 1996 by artist Larry Quick and co-founders Mary Brown and Ben Johnson, LPTM has grown from a small after-school arts program into a beacon of hope and development for young Black males in Washington DC’s Wards 7 & 8. Attending this year's HeART of Community Gala will allow you to see firsthand how Life Pieces To Masterpieces transforms the lives of its participants, also demonstrating the vast potential of art to enrich communities. Join us to experience the profound influence of art across our community! We included a video below to give you a glimpse of what to expect at this year's event. Sponsorships start at $75!

Our #ThankYouThursday for this week goes out to Camp Stone. Their wonderful crew visited our JC Nalle sports and leadership camp and had a blast playing football, doing gymnastics, cycling, and kickball. Our hearts were💗when the kiddos said, "The best part was making so many new friends from near and far!" #kidshelpingkids #nccfcares #volunteer
