Why legacy gifts matter.
Legacy gifts help ensure that children and youth in foster care have consistent support over time: tutors, caring adults, school supplies, duffels, and real-world experiences that open doors.
Your future gift can help sustain the UGrad Academy, My Blue Duffel, and other services so that children who have already been through so much can move forward with stability and hope.
A strong return on your generosity.
- 97% of UGrad Academy students graduate high school on time.
- 98% are promoted to the next grade level each year.
- 6 : 1 estimated return for every dollar invested in UGrad through savings in education, justice, and social services.
