In honor of our 40th anniversary, help NCMEC reach 40,000 gifts of $40 or more.

Dear John,

Every year on May 25th, we observe National Missing Children's Day, a day dedicated to highlighting child safety and honoring the professionals who work tirelessly to protect children across the country.

This year, National Missing Children's Day is part of a significant milestone for us — 2024 marks the 40th anniversary of NCMEC. That's four decades dedicated to ensuring that every child around the world has a safe childhood. Your support has been crucial in this mission, and we need it now more than ever.

We're reaching out to all of NCMEC's loyal friends and followers to join us in a special initiative: donate $40 or more in celebration of our 40th anniversary. Our goal is to raise 40,000 donations by the end of 2024. Please donate today and continue standing with us in our commitment to child protection.

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children is the nation’s largest and most influential child protection organization. We lead the fight to protect children, creating vital resources for them and the people who keep them safe.
