But you don’t have to wait for this special 24-hour period—YOU can give now through 11:59 pm on May 2 at bigdayofgiving.org/agingup! Thanks to our friends Brent Gove Team eXp Realty, the first $2,500 donated will be matched!

Sacramento is among the cities with the highest rates of human trafficking in the nation. Too many of its citizens are experiencing homelessness, drug or alcohol addiction and mental health challenges. Unfortunately, former foster youth disproportionately face such outcomes. But YOU can empower change!

Our research-based services of one-to-one mentoring, positive recreation, and life skills education offer a preventative approach to such adverse outcomes. Your investment in our mission empowers youth who deserve it most.

Your tax-deductible generosity equips 13-to-21-year-old youth from foster care with the skills and resources needed to thrive into adulthood.

There are 820 nonprofits participating in Big Day of Giving this year, and we are rooting for all of them. We also know we are not the only organization reaching out for your support, and we appreciate your thoughtful consideration of investing in our mission. Not only will your gift immediately impact a young person who deserves it most, it will also improve the overall community as we empower youth from foster care to grow into happy, healthy, self-sufficient adults.

Give today at bigdayofgiving.org/agingup!

Big Day of Giving is a program of the Sacramento Region Community Foundation to raise unrestricted funds for nonprofit organizations that strengthen the capital region. It is an inspiring day of philanthropy that began in 2013 and we are proud to participate.
