It’s a way to show lasting support and be recognized as part of the McKinley community.

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.
