Donors
Whatever investment you make in our kids and Strive, please consider designating it an annual commitment. The consistency of this “human endowment” gives us a hedge against the vagaries of stock market jitters and other financial uncertainties that can hinder our progress. This core group of donors are the backbone of our efforts and sustain our ongoing operations and program needs.
Donors designated with a ♦ have made multiple year, annual commitments or otherwise substantial gifts to Strive.
