Donate Today
We are a private non-profit organization contracted by the state and local governments for services. Government sources do not cover the basic costs. To be sustainable we need your help! Please consider TYFS in your giving and choose an item to support from our CARE MENU!
We currently have a Foster Care Fund which will support children who are placed with foster care with any necessary items they may need (clothing, food etc.). You can donate directly to this fund by clicking on the Foster Care Donate Button below.
We need your help to make a difference for every child.
Contribute to the Bruce Burkland Scholarship Fund
The Bruce Burkland Scholarship Fund was created to honor long-time Executive Director for his 40 years of work with children and families at TYFS. Scholarship Funds will directly support youth who are in need of residential services from the Van Vleck Group Home to Red Top Meadows Residential Treatment Center. The Scholarship will pay for room and board, school, transportation, and student specific items such as clothing, school supplies, or afterschool programs. The intent of the Scholarship is to ensure that every child has access to the level of care that is appropriate and most therapeutic to ensure healing and recovery from traumatic events.
