THANK YOU!

As we’ve now reached our 35th anniversary in 2025, we thank all the Golden Hearts listed below for their faith in our kids and efforts with them.

Whatever investment you make in our kids and Strive, please consider designating it an annual commitment.   The consistency of this “human endowment” gives us a hedge against the vagaries of stock market jitters and other financial uncertainties that can hinder our progress. This core group of donors are the backbone of our efforts and sustain our ongoing operations and program needs.

Please consider making a larger charitable impact. In many cases, donations of appreciated securities, bonds and mutual funds may be more financially advisable than donating cash. This may provide the benefit to you of increasing your tax deduction.

Donations can be made via the following accounts: E*Trade, Vanguard, Fidelity Charitable.
Please email Jim@Strive-la.org for account information.

Donors with a have made multiple, annual or otherwise substantial gift commitments to Strive.
