The board of directors of the Jack Williams Endowment for Wednesday's Child voted unanimously to send grants in 2008 to the following charities and agencies working with special needs children to get them adoptive homes:

Since it's creation in 2000 as a 501 (c)(3) IRS approved charity, the
Endowment has given more than $1.5-million to help special needs children.
The charity operates without employees out of Marci and Jack Williams' home.
It's strength is in its volunteers and wonderful board members, all of whom serve without compensation.
