Giving to Glenwood – Join the Bridge Builders Annual
Appeal and Community Challenge
As a community-funded nonprofit organization Glenwood relies
on the financial support of individuals, corporations and
foundations who believe in our mission to improve the lives
of disadvantaged children. In an effort to sustain the quality
and future of our programs, Glenwood recently launched the
Bridge Builders Annual Appeal and Community Challenge, and
we need your help.
To meet the total cost of direct childcare, child development
and education programs offered each year – approximately
$15,000 per child, it is necessary to double our annual fundraising.
Your gift is worth even more because it will be matched $1
for every $2 by the Irwin Family Foundation who will contribute
up to $1 million during the next two years for all gifts outside
of special events. By joining this powerful partnership you
will give disadvantaged children and their families opportunities
for a better life.
Since it was founded in 1887, Glenwood School has helped more
than 17,000 children gain the self-confidence, values and
life skills they need to become self-sufficient, responsible
adults. What makes Glenwood unique is our focus on prevention
and our partnership with parents. By intervening before a
crisis situation develops, Glenwood is able to help children
overcome their difficult beginnings.
Our annual operating expenses are met through annual fund
raising and the annual proceeds of our endowment fund. While
our endowment fund has allowed Glenwood to survive several
economic downturns we cannot continue to draw from this fund
without threatening the future survival of Glenwood. Because
Glenwood exists solely through private philanthropy your support
is crucial.
We encourage you to review our funding opportunities to sponsor
a child’s experience at Glenwood, a program or help
fund the personal needs of a child. Your support will
change children’s lives.
