History

Clay County Children’s Services Fund was created in 2017 following voter approval of a designated one-quarter of a cent sales tax pursuant to RSMo 67.1775 and RSMo 210.861. A 9-member board of directors appointed by the Clay County Commission administers the Fund and its operations.

The Fund provides grants to organizations offering services that protect the well-being and safety of children and youth and strengthen their families. Such services may include counseling, family support, temporary residential services, and other such services set out in RSMo 210.861.
