Organizational History
The organization was founded by a father who quickly learned there were major flaws with the current family court system after his child was taken from him at just a week old. In a short time, he was able to connect with people across the globe experiencing similar struggles, and he realized the scope of the issue and the need for change. His experience provided visibility into not only the flaws in the legal system, but in our society – across the United States and across the world.
The name Time to Put Kids First was derived from a history of children being put in the middle of custody disputes and ultimately suffering as a result. Our belief is that we can change "We The People" much faster and more effectively than we can influence inequality and corruption in our legal system, and therefore we encourage staying out of court whenever possible.
TPKF filed its Articles of Incorporation on December 13, 2014, and became a Washington state nonprofit. In March of 2015, the organization became a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit. By April 2015, TPKF was already supporting families in every U.S. state and reaching 45 countries. In July 2015, TPKF held its opening event fundraiser which took place in the states of WA and NH. On October 1, 2015, Time to Put Kids First became registered to operate on the ground in Idaho.
In TPKF’s first year, 107 volunteers gave more than 6,850 hours of their time supporting our cause. Also, 25 business partners and 44 individual contributors and members helped fund our work.
In March 2016, TPKF became registered to operate in Hawaii. In May of 2016, we held our first annual Reunification Retreat where we sent a father and daughter on an all-expense paid trip to Hawaii after a 2-year separation. In October 2016, TPKF kicked off its Co-Parenting Program.
In January 2017, TPKF became registered to operate in New Hampshire. By March of 2017, TPKF had helped 68,450 families, and our Co-Parenting program had more than 3,100 subscribers. We released our first Children's Book series, The Family Neighborhood Series, in November of 2018. In 2019, the organization held their first large "party-for-a-purpose" annual fundraiser with their Gala Event in the state of NH.
