Ways to Support McKinley
Every supporter brings their own passions, experiences, and goals. These options help you give in the way that feels meaningful to you:
Children’s Circle of Hope
Our annual giving club is built for those who want to make a steady, ongoing difference. Circle of Hope members provide reliable funding that helps keep McKinley’s core programs strong, including education, mental health care, and safe spaces for youth and families. It’s a way to show lasting support and be recognized as part of the McKinley community.
Capital Gifts
Capital gifts support the spaces where McKinley’s work happens every day. These contributions help fund major projects like new buildings, campus renovations, and facility upgrades, ensuring that every young person we serve has access to safe, welcoming environments designed for healing, learning, and growth.
Endowment Gifts
Endowment gifts provide a way to invest in McKinley’s long-term future. These contributions are carefully managed to generate ongoing resources that support programs, staff, and essential services for years to come. Endowment donors can choose to direct their gift toward a particular need or help sustain our mission as a whole. Join us as a Legacy Ambassador to support life-changing programs for survivors of abuse and those facing incredible challenges.
Touching the Future Wall
Our Touching the Future Wall is a visible reminder of the community that makes McKinley possible. Located on our San Dimas campus, this commemorative space features engraved tiles that honor loved ones, celebrate milestones, or reflect personal connections to McKinley. It’s a meaningful way to leave a lasting mark while supporting the youth and families we serve.
The Impact of Your Generosity
McKinley’s mission depends on the generosity of donors who believe in brighter futures. Their stories show how every contribution — large or small — leaves a lasting mark.
