Annual Fund Campaign

Growing up is hard. Donate today to spark hope for Iowa youth!

Growing up today is hard.

And, unfortunately, for many kids and teens it’s not getting any easier.

Many Iowa families continue to struggle with crises on two fronts – access to affordable, quality childcare and adolescent mental health.

Your gift will help make childcare and summer camp more accessible to central Iowa families by providing financial assistance to historically underserved communities including, BIPOC, LGBT+, and rural residents – helping make our programs even more inclusive and welcoming for all youth.

Your gift will also help us support the mental health of our youth by providing mental health first aid training for all staff – professional and seasonal

Your gift will do all this and more. Your gift will ensure more kids and teens grow up in safe, welcoming, and joyful spaces.
