Our 40 years of experience positions us to provide the needed leadership and expertise so vital in this unique time.

However, the majority of the federal program funding that has financially supported our efforts to transform the lives of people living in prison, those returning home, and children and families impacted by incarceration will end September 30, 2011.

Since the recession began, Centerforce has taken responsible actions to reduce expenses, eliminate support staff and discontinue a flagship programs. These steps are helping us muscle through a tough economic time. However, these steps alone will not fill the gap left by disappearing government funding.

We must diversify our revenue to replace the tenuous future of federal funding. We are thinking ahead. We are thinking of now. We are thinking of how much we need you.

Raising more individual donor support at this time is critical to preserve our core programs, stabilize staffing and increase our services.

California needs Centerforce and we need you to fulfill our mission.

Each year we serve over 10,000 men and women in prisons and jails. Our programs create safer communities, stronger families, and save tax dollars. Incarcerated parents receive knowledge and skills to understand and support their children. People with substance abuse and high risk behaviors learn to take responsibility and make safer choices. Children of incarcerated adults have proven to increase their self esteem and leadership skills.

We need your help to raise $100,000 by September. Stand with us and together we can get through this challenge. Will you make a donation today of $1000, $500, $100, $35?

You can make donations through our website or by mailing a check today. The voices of those rarely heard and our entire staff and board are relying on you to act today.
