Fundraising for A Precious Child Inc.
Story
- First Goal within the overall $300,000 Campaign: $5,000 (Thank you to those who helped blow through this goal!)
- Current Goal: $15,000
- Stretch Goal: $18,000
A Precious Child is a nonprofit that is near and dear to my heart. I say it's a family affair, with my involvement as Chairman of the Board of Directors, and my wife and sons as volunteers in the Resource Center. We've been involved since 2015, when I sought an organization that
- Spoke to my passions (children and education - check!),
- Could help me parent my children (check!), and
- Would be a smart investment (90% of giving goes towards programs and A Precious Child acts as a hub for so many services within and beyond their own organization - double-check!).
In 2019 alone, they provided opportunities and resources valued at $15 million to more than 57,000 underprivileged children and 7,000 adult caregivers.
As a designated essential organization, their team is rising up to an unparalleled challenge during the coronavirus pandemic. They're on the frontlines, providing emergency essentials such as hygiene items, cleaning supplies, diapers and wipes, clothing and other basic needs.
They are facing two challenges:
- Loss of major funding from the cancellation and postponement of signature fundraising events, and
- An increase in demand from the most vulnerable families throughout the Denver metro area in need of their services.
