Financial contributions of any amount significantly impact the lives of the children, young adults, and families in our care. Your generosity allows us to provide the support they need to succeed while continuing to develop and grow our programs and expand our impact area in Kansas and Missouri.
How Your Gift Can Make a Difference
- Create a sense of joy by providing a gift to a child on their first birthday away from home.
- Assist with a month’s rent and utilities for a young adult formerly in foster care, now living independently for the first time.
- Contribute to prevention services that help break the cycle of trauma and create stronger, more resilient families and communities.
How to Make a Financial Contribution
You can donate online, over the phone, or via mail. While undesignated gifts provide maximum flexibility for addressing the treatment and care of our youth, you may designate your donation to go toward a specific program or project. If you choose to designate your gift, please include instructions for how you would like your contribution to be used.
