Donor & Partner Voices

Meet the partners creating change in their communities.

“Public funding is essential; it keeps programs running and doors open. But it can’t do it all. Donations are what help remove barriers, offer scholarships, fund campus tours, and provide the kind of hands-on support youth really need. That extra care? That’s what tells young people their community is behind them. And that’s why I give.”
