Family Promise of Gallatin Valley Announces Matching Donation of $160,000
Bozeman, MT – Family Promise, the nation’s leading nonprofit addressing family homelessness and early learning, has announced a small pool of anonymous donors are matching every donation from December 1 – December 31. Dollar for dollar, donations will be matched, up to $160,000. Donations will allow Family Promise to continue to serve children and families experiencing homelessness.
In addition to a warm and safe place to sleep, Family Promise provides comprehensive case management, goal setting, and employment objectives, empowering families through learning experiences, early learning opportunities, long-term support, and expanded support systems. Family Promise operates two emergency shelter locations and 10 transitional housing locations. The number of families served by Family Promise has increased by over 600% between 2019 and 2022.
According to our donors, “We were introduced to Family Promise by a friend who is heavily invested and involved in the organization and the families they serve. From the moment we walked in the door we had goosebumps and were in awe of the incredible and thoughtful space created for families in our community. From the central location to the necessary services all in one place, and a state-of-the-art day center and early learning center, we were blown away and knew we had to be a part of what they were doing.
What Family Promise and Rising Stars have created should be the model in every city struggling with families facing homelessness. Most impressively, Family Promise gets ahead of the problem before it becomes a problem, allowing families to stabilize and avoid homelessness. What they are doing in our valley is the most impactful of any organization we have had the privilege of supporting.
To us, Family Promise is all about community. Sometimes the hardest part of life is asking for help. Family Promise provides tools for those willing to ask for help to not only better their lives, but improve their family’s situation and brings them back into the community. Family Promise is not a handout, it’s a long-term solution for generational economic hardships.”
