Welcome to the Necahual Foundation website!
We are a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to supporting the needs of children.
We keep our operating costs as low as possible so that every penny can go to things like these swimsuits you see to the left that are worn to the pool by children from the shelter.
Thank you for helping us on our mission!
Thank you to our 2021 Sponsors!

The Necahual Foundation is always busy fundraising and providing critical services and supplies for the children we support.
Above you see a beautiful picture of two children posing with their birthday cakes and personalized cards.
Every birthday the children receive a handwritten and decorated card from a volunteer, a cake, and some birthday funds.
