Every day children lose a parent in the line of duty, making the ultimate sacrifice for public safety and national security as a member of the military, law enforcement community, or as a first responder. And every day military, first responders, teachers and good samaritans put their lives on the line in public service.
Children of Heroes Fund was established in 2015 to generate support for families and children who lost a parent through their public service, with focus on youth education and wellness. Today we are partnered with our sister organizations, Heart to Heart Foundation, ABS Community Research, and Rule of Law Committee for advocacy and community partnerships in support of these families and prevention of future incidents.
Through special initiatives, Children of Heroes Fund advocates for public safety and interdisciplinary partnerships, to develop local level support, with commitments to community justice and healing programs.
Children of Heroes Fund is a nonprofit 501c3 organization. Contributions are tax deductible.
Christian Leadership Council was founded in 2018 as a community outreach initiative that bridges multiple churches, congregations, and local organizations together in joint activities including roundtable discussions, conferences, gospel music, legislative affairs, humanitarian aid, and inspirational awareness through newsletters and social media.
Christian Leadership Council was originally established as a special initiative of ABS Community Research (501c3), with activities based in Virginia and Washington DC supporting historical Black churches, Black History and African American lead local Gospel concerts and fellowship activities.
In 2022, Christian Leadership Council was adopted by Rule of Law Committee (501c4) in support of civic engagement and the health freedom movement.
In 2026, Christian Leadership Council was adopted by Children of Heroes Fund, to continue shared missions and joint initiatives.

Thin Blue Line Caucus was founded in 2021 by ABS Community Research (501c3) with the advisory support of seasoned law enforcement veterans and leading members of the national law enforcement community, through principles of community policing (Broken Windows model). ABS was established in 2001 to support community justice and Broken Windows model applications through interdisciplinary partnerships.
Thin Blue Line Caucus was adopted by Rule of Law Committee in 2022, to address policy issues including law enforcement integration with national security, and to support increased community level interest for direct involvement and work with local Sheriffs.
Beginning in 2026, Children of Heroes Fund has a special emphasis on reducing violence and incidents at schools (K-12 and collegiate), houses of worship, and local neighborhoods at large. This outreach and collaborative initiative brings together civic groups, law enforcement, government officials, and constituents in meaningful dialog for public safety solutions.

Since founding, Christian Leadership Council and Thin Blue Line Caucus coalitions have organized and supported multiple local activities and events in Washington DC, Virginia, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania; with a special emphasis on youth, families, and partnership development.
