Return on Your Investment - Funding Sources - Donations - Annual Fund Raising Events - Volunteering - 2010 Donors
Following
is a
snapshot of the return
on your investment
when every dollar counts.
A donation of
$7,500.00 would
pay the
operating costs for all programs at all locations for one day.
Our Family Support
programs
need $2,290.00
each day that we offer services. These
services are education based, focusing on child development. Research
has shown that this education helps
to strengthen families; contributing to the success of individuals
in school, work and throughout the
life-cycle.
In
our Clinical
Counseling services we provide
individual counseling for children who have lived through abuse, adults
who
need help to be better parents, couples who are facing marital
difficulties,
children who need guidance to deal with anger and violence issues and
individuals dealing with problems that prohibit them from functioning
in a
normal way. Fees for clinical
services
are determined on a sliding scale ranging from $45 - $95 per unit of
service.
- The average cost for
clinical counseling with
a Master’s level licensed therapist is $95.00 per hour.
- Your $5,000.00 gift would
allow a child to
receive sessions for a year to be stronger and happier as they come out
of an abusive situation
- Your $1,000.00 gift would
provide a series of
sessions for a couple on the brink of calling it quits due to the
frustrations of daily life. Working
through issues could save a family from being torn apart.
- Your $250.00 donation would
allow parents to
receive reinforcement and guidance on dealing with a defiant teen. Sometimes
parents just need to learn basic
parenting skills to help guide their children through difficult times.
The Flannery Keal
Home
for victims of
Domestic Violence offers shelter and support for victims and their
children. Housing a victim costs
$60.00
per day. The average stay for a
client
is 11 days, at a cost of $660. 2009
year to date, 183 clients have received safe shelter; 101 women and 82
children.
- Your $350.00 donation would
cover the cost of
one class.
- Your $1,500.00 donation
would provide half of
the instructional aids needed for the year
- Your $1,500 donation would
provide parent
incentives for the entire year.
- Your $3,000.00 gift would
provide educational
materials needed for the families.
Thank you for
considering
supporting these
important programs that are addressing healthy child development,
positive
parenting, and healthy relationships. Strong
families, confident, healthy children, child abuse
prevention, domestic
violence prevention, and child development are the issues on which
Family
Service Society programs are based.
If
you have any
question or would like to discuss how your gift could benefit a
particular
program at FSSI, please contact Kelly Turner
at 765-662-9971
ext. 101 for more
information.
