We work together to provide holistic services to meet the diverse needs of parents and children, creating lasting and transformative impact. Thanks to our generous community of institutional partners, we have the resources to help families and children gain the knowledge, skills and support they need to thrive.

Collaboration is at the heart of The Cradle’s approach. We work with a wide network of programmatic and community partners who share our commitment to supporting parents and building strong families. With relationships spanning over 200 hospitals across Illinois and Indiana, we provide parenting and adoption-related support and training. We work with healthcare professionals to raise awareness of the services available to parents and children. Our partnerships also extend to peer nonprofits, local community centers, youth organizations, adoption professionals, social service agencies and educational institutions. We are united by a common goal to uplift and support families. Together, we are creating a stronger, more supportive community where every child and family is empowered to succeed.
If you are interested in becoming a partner in our mission, whether through funding support or as a programmatic ally, we invite you to join us in making a lasting difference.
