About
Daniel Memorial – more often known as Daniel Kids – was founded in 1884 and is the oldest children’s agency in the state. They provide a variety of programs addressing child welfare, adoption, independent living, mental health, case management, and juvenile justice. This can include a therapeutic foster home for an abused child, independent living services for a homeless adolescent, intervention services for an adolescent on the path of juvenile delinquency, or treatment for an emotionally disturbed, behaviorally disruptive child.

Two other nonprofits are affiliated with the Daniel organization – Daniel Memorial Properties, to handle their real estate holdings, and Daniel Foundation, which is used for fundraising and their investments.
