We Need Your Help!

Waco needs positive change. Every day in our community, children are giving up on their dreams because they do not have someone to turn to. Often, these children’s dreams are smaller than their capabilities, simply because no one has opened the doors of experience for them.

Mentoring changes that. Our Bigs are helping kids in Waco today make positive choices; to stay in school, to set goals, to try something new. We need your support to make this happen

Our goal this year is to change the lives of the 85 currently waiting Little Brothers and Sisters. They need their Bigs to step up TODAY. We need individuals like you, with a big heart to support positive change in Waco. Right now, your donation can make a BIG difference. Thanks to a matching grant from the Waco Foundation, your donation will be doubled if your gift is made by June 30^th!

Average annual direct costs for making and supporting a new match is $1,000 and is generally broken down as follows:

o    $250 in recruitment costs (finding great volunteers for our Littles)

o   $250 in processing, training and matching (collecting volunteer and child information, screening, interviewing, background checks, selecting Big/Little match, new match training, personalized/professional introduction of Big/Little)

o    $500 in year-long support, activities and continued training.

The $1,000 does not include administrative overhead or fund raising expenses; solely those expenses directly related to making and sustaining safe, successful, life-changing matches. Now is the time to make the biggest impact possible through your donation.

Help us bring positive changes to Waco. Our Littles are waiting; it’s your turn to Start Something. Please give generously as your impact will be doubled! Please visit our website to donate today!
