YOUR IMPACT: Volunteers are the very core of RIVER FUND. For the first 25+ years, we operated solely at the hands of Volunteers. VOLUNTEERING has no boundaries and can take shape in many ways... through commitment of physical time, in-kind or monetary donations. Our RIVER FUND G.I.V.E. Program is an incredibly powerful poverty-embracing relationship between us, our corporate partners, and their employees. Making numerous initiatives possible!

Family Circle | $15,000

Family Circle listing on the virtual program and website.

YOUR IMPACT: RIVER FUND pioneered the nation's first ever 'Child Poverty Awareness Day' in 2013. CPA DAY evolved from our commitment to alleviate the financial strain parents encounter while preparing for the new school year.

Through our Back-to-School Program, we equip each child with age and grade-specific school supplies. We firmly believe that education is the foremost component in our effort to break the cycle of poverty. Your generous gift will not only support our youth as they prepare for the upcoming school year but also provide much needed relief for their parents, lightening the burden they carry.

Ambassador | $5,000

YOUR IMPACT: Your gift will provide 100,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables to our families in need during the upcoming winter. This period is particularly crucial for high-quality nutrition, given that supplies are scarcer, more expensive, and less available.
