Support Pathways

Our development office is responsible for raising funds to support the mission of Pathways. Through direct mail appeals, special events, grant proposals, and corporate support each year, our goal is to fill the gaps left in our budget after public financial support is finalized. We are also happy to receive needed goods and services in addition to the valuable time of our many volunteers. At the end of the calendar year, we conduct our Annual Appeal, which supports our programs, our Social Services Emergency Fund to help families through difficult winter months, and provides general or unrestricted support.

Throughout the year, we may hold special fundraising events. We welcome your participation as a committee member, an attendee, a sponsor, or by providing goods or services for the event. If you would like to be added to our invitation list, please send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

These tours are conducted throughout the year.

Please consider including Pathways for Children in your charitable giving this year. Your choice to make an unrestricted gift will allow Pathways to use your gift where it is most needed.

Please let us know if you wish your gift to remain anonymous. Thank you for your support!
