With the start of our new fiscal year on April 1, we are filled with gratitude for your support.
Your generosity has been the driving force behind lives changed, families supported, and a stronger community. This season of growth and renewal mirrors the promises of spring itself, bringing both change and opportunity.
As we look ahead, we are excited to build upon our successes and take bold steps toward even greater impact.
To guide our growth and ensure we continue meeting the evolving needs of our community, we recently completed the analysis of our second annual Client Survey.
A clear theme emerged: Our clients have big dreams, but obstacles – like debt, transportation barriers, and a lack of accessible information – make it difficult to achieve them.
We are responding with plans to build a financial education offering, ways to simplify the public benefits application process, collect data on the childcare needs of school-aged children, and so much more.
Like our clients, our team at Interfaith Outreach has big dreams for this organization. And like them, we also face challenges.
That’s why, after thoughtful consideration of how we can respond to the community’s growing demand for basic needs and new areas of support, we have set our FY26 fundraising goal at $7,500,000.
It’s an ambitious goal, but with your continued partnership, we know it’s possible.
When we embrace growth and change as an organization, we become better at helping our clients do the same.
And in doing so, we build a stronger community together.
In partnership,
Kevin Ward
Executive Director
