Charitable gifts are vital to our organization. Budget cuts can quickly affect services we provide, leaving the children and families we serve vulnerable and at high risk for neglect, abuse, and homelessness.

For example, without scholarships for our childcare development center, families would be pushed out of the workforce or be unable to further their education, which only reinforces the cycle of poverty and despair.

How we are funded:

57% Government funding (51% state and 6% federal)

26% Grant funding

7.5% Private pay (child development center)

5.5% Fundraising

4% United Way

.5% Endowment proceeds
