The Family Service Fund is our annual giving program. The Fund is made up of hundreds of gifts from Family Service’s loyal base of supporters.
Your gift will support programs and services that help children, men and women reach their full potential, and enable Family Service to advance crucial organization priorities, such as piloting or expanding services to address a critical, unmet need.
The Fund provides a vital revenue stream that leverages and supplements other funding streams including grants, contracts, and reimbursement for client care.
