Volunteer Opportunities
As a not-for-profit organization, we rely on the
kind people of our community to volunteer their time and help. The majority of our “hard-cash” funding comes
from the Wisconsin Children’s Trust Fund (CTF).
The CTF requires a local match of at least 20% of the grant
award. Volunteer time and donations
account for half ($17,000) of our annual local match.
