In Spokane, community leaders understand that strong families underpin a successful society.
SpoFI Fatherhood Building Campaign Update
You did it! Donations to our Fatherhood Building Campaign surged past the goal of $70,000, reaching an incredible $81,341.50. That’s 116% of our target. Way to go!
We rely heavily on private donations from individuals and businesses to reach the many dads and families that are in need of relationship training. We are honored that so many people like you recognize the importance of strong, vibrant families to our society.
While the $81,341.50 exceeds our goal, it remains slightly short of the unexpected revenue gap we learned of just a few weeks ago. We are losing $15,200 in anticipated revenue that we would have received starting in July. If we add that number to our earlier goal of $70,000, our need has grown to $85,200, leaving us short by $3,858.50.
If you haven’t donated to this campaign, right now is a great time to make a gift.
The root causes of issues like homelessness, crime, and low worker productivity often trace back to family instability, predominantly due to absent fathers.
At SpoFI, we’re committed to reversing this trend by helping fathers develop key character traits such as commitment, emotional resiliency, gratitude, and honor. These qualities are essential for fathers to build lasting, positive relationships with their children, fostering a healthier community and more productive workforce.
By investing in SpoFI programs, your business can play a vital role in nurturing well-rounded and stable employees. Supporting fathers in their personal growth and family engagement directly translates to enhanced reliability and productivity in the workplace. Ultimately, partnering with SpoFI not only strengthens families and communities, but also contributes to building a more dedicated, dependable workforce – a win-win for businesses and society as a whole.
“The Spokane Fatherhood Initiative is…one of the most impressive father-serving efforts in the country.”
Chris Brown, President, National Fatherhood Initiative
SpoFi provides a unique service to the fathers of our community to get the mentorship, skills and resources that they need as well. Courts benefit when the community can assist parents in resolving their conflicts and improving their skills. SpoFi offers services that if utilized, can improve outcomes for families.
