Big Day of Giving
Help children in foster care find their lifelong connections to family!
There are more than 3,000 youth in foster care in the Greater Sacramento Region. Each year we fight stigma, provide support, educate, and advocate for local youth and families.
Our goal is to raise $30,000 to provide vital services, resources, and forever families for local youth in foster care. Give children an opportunity to thrive at home, in school, and in their communities.
Unrestricted funding is especially helpful, as it allows us to direct your support where it’s most needed and can have the most impact.
Schedule your donation now through May 2nd: bigdayofgiving.org/organization/ssyaf.
Thanks to the incredible support from United Agencies Insurance, Inc. and Nugget Markets, you can now double the impact of your donation. Your contribution can go twice as far to help youth currently in foster care because they will match your donation up to $20,000!
Did you know? If you give with a Golden 1 Credit Union debit or credit card, your donations can go even further thanks to a $100,000 proportional match from Golden 1 Credit Union to boost its members’ donations! Additional giving options include Donor Advised Funds or other managed accounts and checks.
