Some of the recognized and more successful arrangements with organizations can be found here.
The program included:

The Morgan Nick Foundation
On the evening of June 9, 1995, six-year-old Morgan Nick was kidnapped while playing with friends just yards away from her mother during a little league game in Alma, Arkansas. A massive investigation ensued, and continues, but Morgan Nick remains missing.
After Morgan’s kidnapping it became apparent there was a need for an organization which could provide immediate assistance to the families of missing children.
Colleen Nick, Morgan’s mother, realized this need and determined to fight for Morgan and for the hundreds of children that go missing each year; and in 1996, The Morgan Nick Foundation was launched.
The Morgan Nick Foundation (MNF) provides a support network to Arkansas parents and families of missing children and adults. The focus of the MNF falls into three categories:
Intervention: provided for families of missing persons
Education: provides FREE safety skills and abduction prevention education to children, parents, teachers and communities.
Legislation: advocating for legislation that protects the rights of children
