FAQ's
Investing in PathWays is an investment in your community and its future. Without the contributions of generous people like you, we wouldn't be able to support our programs and the necessary services they provide to so many individuals in the community.
Regardless of circumstances or intellectual challenges, we believe there is hope for each child, adult, and family to reach their full potential for a fulfilling life. By involving our communities and developing partnerships that support our range of programs, we are able to offer every individual and family what they deserve — a chance in life.
PathWays’ Annual Giving Campaign provides crucial funds needed to provide services that would not otherwise be possible with government funding alone. These funds make the difference between a good program and an exceptional program, between a good organization and an exceptional organization. Your donations support the PathWays Annual Giving Campaign or are directed “Where needed most,” and are used each year to finance key activities and staffing needs.
Your support allows PathWays:
- To continue to expand its services to children and families that are currently not receiving adequate care and support.
- To provide the necessary support, training, and professional development to attract and retain exceptional staff to work with our children and families.
