Invest in a One-Time Gift
Each gift to Friends-Seattle invests in 12+ years of paid professional mentoring for each young person in the program to help uncover their full potential for long-term success in life.
For every $1 invested in Friends of the Children, the community benefits over $7 in saved social costs later on. Investing in just one youth saves our community $971,000 in social costs. (Source: Harvard Business School Association of Oregon)
