Join us for Give STL Day and help jump-start the Coalition’s 35th anniversary!

In honor of the Coalition’s 35th anniversary, our ambitious fundraising goal is $235,000. We encourage gifts with a “35” in them to get in the spirit, e.g., $35, $135, etc. Also, please consider leaving a 35th-anniversary message for us when you donate! We’d love to hear from you and will post your messages on our website throughout our 35th anniversary year. Thanks to our generous sponsors, your gift is doubled on Give STL Day, so your $35 gift has $70 of impact.

Patty Corum is one of those sponsors and shares why she supports Give STL Day:

“I donate to Give STL Day because my money is being used in such a powerful way. Foster & Adoptive Care Coalition staff and volunteers are directly and significantly helping children and families in the most meaningful ways possible – to connect families and give children support and a forever home. I’ve watched it with my own eyes! I can’t think of anything better, and I feel so grateful that I can support such a remarkable organization! Thank you, Coalition, for everything you do. You are amazing, and you have my total support!!!” – Patty

What is Give STL Day?

Give STL Day is a 24-hour online giving event benefitting St. Louis and Illinois communities on Thursday, May 9th, 2024. Give STL Day is an annual giving movement connecting donors and dollars to nonprofits and their funding needs.

How can I help?

When should I donate? During Power Hours!
