Individual Giving

Alumni, family members of clients, and over 1,000 donors help support the program at The Gooden Center. Through their generosity we are able to provide treatment scholarships. Individuals contribute in response to our fall letter or by attending the Annual Gala Event. Many also contribute throughout the year as well.

In 2011, we added a new opportunity for ongoing support, our Twelve x Twelve x Twelve x Twelve = HOPE. This program is to assist our Family Treatment Program by creating scholarships. By giving an achievable amount each month, one donor, in concert with many other donors, can make a huge difference in the lives of a family in crisis. Call 626-356-0078 for more information.

Gifts may be made in honor of an individual important to the donor and/or in recognition of a special occasion. They may also be made in loving memory of departed family members or friends. Donors may designate their gifts for a specific purpose, such as the Scholarship Fund. Undesignated gifts will be used for general purposes.
