Don Knabe Safe Surrender Scholarship Fund

Scroll To Donate Form

The Safely Surrendered Baby Law was initiated by former L.A. County Supervisor Don Knabe and signed into state law in 2006. The law gives parents a chance to surrender a baby three days old or younger with an employee at any Los Angeles County hospital or fire station.

The Don Knabe Safe Surrender Scholarship Fund was established in 2014 to provide scholarships for children safely surrendered in Los Angeles County. Youths adopted as a Safely Surrendered Baby in Los Angeles County are eligible for the scholarship at age 17. The scholarship may be used for any purpose toward higher education.

Learn more about the Safe Surrender Program at LaCounty.gov and Ican4kids.org.
