It costs approximately $186 per day per child in our care. 53% of the Kids Campus budget is funded by the State of Arizona and the remaining 47% is raised through various fund raising events, grants, and gifts from individual donors, corporations, and foundations. Our fundraising efforts exceed $1,500,000 annually.
We exist because YOU care! Won't you join us for the incredible journey into a brighter future for our children?
None of what we do would be possible without the financial and in-kind support of our WVCCC friends. Many individuals, community groups, corporations and foundations have made it possible over the years for us to:
- Build and furnish a campus that is child-friendly, safe and welcoming.
- Develop new programs that are responsive to the changing needs of the children we serve.
- Attract and retain high-quality employees.
