Giving

Help make a difference for our Center and the families we serve! Your donations directly benefit our services, partnerships and research projects.

Support Families and Communities

Since our founding in 2008, the Center for Family and Community Engagement has strived to better the lives of those in need. Your gifts help us accomplish that mission!

With your support, we foster family-community-academic partnerships that are relevant and responsive to the groups we serve. Donors support our training programs dedicated to child welfare and empower our research and evaluation efforts.

Your donation can make a tremendous impact on the lives of our students as well! Take a look at our Students’ Corner to see some examples of the great work our students are accomplishing at the Center.
