When you donate online to Big Brothers Big Sisters, you directly support children in your community.
No matter how much you give, donating will improve the lives of young people in your community. Your donation will help them meet the challenges of growing up into happy, confident young adults.
Some people may not know it, but there is a donor or collection of donors behind everyone of our matches that makes a positive impact on the life of a young person. If you would like to make a positive impact in our youth, please! Donate Now!
Financial support is vital to provide mentors for children in our community.
Seventy percent of every dollar invested goes directly towards making and supporting mentoring matches, with the remainder covering overall program administration. Donating will help:
- Offer each match individual support and professional supervision by a social service and youth development specialist.
- Cover the costs of background checks and insurance, while ensuring trained professionals match children to caring and responsible volunteers.
- Provide cultural and social activities to enrich the mentorship opportunities for children
- Help recruit new Big Brother and Big Sister volunteers
Here are some of the ways you can support us:
- Individual Support - Financial donations provide direct and immediate support, in the form of cash (via credit card, check, electronic transfer, or securely online), publicly traded securities, or tribute and memorial gifts. Make your gift online today!
