Friends of the Children Austin has the mission to break the cycle of generational poverty by pairing children who are facing the greatest obstacles with a salaried, professional, bilingual mentor, called a Friend, from kindergarten through high school graduation. 12+ years – no matter what.

We are recruiting Best Friends Forever (BFF) to help us raise $25,000. This special group of donors can contribute a one-time gift of $1,000 or a monthly donation of $85 per month for the year. Give Now! Your invitation to join us as a BFF is open until August 31, but you can take advantage of our $12,000 match right now and your gift will go twice as far! Your support goes directly to our mission and work.
