YOUR IMPACT: Your gift will directly change the trajectory of the lives of our students and their families who face tremendous obstacles and challenges—with little to no resources. Our RIVER FUND Mentoring Program matches students and adults together in an environment where they are embraced, supported, and guided both personally and professionally. This valued resource is a vital embrace for our youth and an essential extension of our Mary C. Tiedemann Scholarship Fund. The Mentor-Mentee relationship can change the trajectory of lives and truly break the cycle of poverty!

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 HeartCorps Program is an incredibly powerful poverty-embracing relationship between us, our corporate partners, and their employees. Making numerous initiatives possible!

YOUR IMPACT: RIVER FUND launched the nation’s first ever ‘Child Poverty Awareness Day’ in 2013. CPA DAY evolved from our efforts to mitigate expenses parents face in providing essentials for the new school year.
