How We Use Your Donations

We understand how important it is to know your donation is making a real impact. That’s why we’re committed to financial transparency, ensuring you always see where your support goes.

Programming

Each year, we set programming goals to enrich the lives of children at the three children’s homes we support. Your donations fund holiday celebrations, events and camps, and scholarships, creating meaningful opportunities for them. Learn more on our Programs Overview page.

Resources and Supplies

Children’s homes regularly reach out with needs to improve the quality of life for the kids they serve. We work to fill as many gaps as possible, from school supplies and new computers to special outings and experiences.

Operational Costs

A small but dedicated team ensures our programs run smoothly. Our full-time Executive Director, along with a part-time Executive Assistant and GEM Program Coordinator, manage fundraising, program coordination, and daily operations.
