Strong Starts

 

We invite you to participate in our 2024 Strong StartS for Children fundraiser to invest in our future.

Strong Starts for Children is a fundraising campaign led by Women United to support the Secure Start Expansion program. 

THE GOAL

To equip more parents and educators with the tools they need to create secure, healthy, and nurturing relationships with children, who are our future! Our 2024 fundraising goal is $25,000. These funds will impact 750 children in Greater New Haven! To meet this goal, we'll need community members, your networks and you! 

LIKE TO SET UP A GIVING PAGE?

Personal giving (payroll deduction and above and beyond gifts);   

Peer to peer fundraising (set up a page to inspire support for this important program)  

Sponsorships from your employer, professional groups, sororities, alumni groups, etc.   

THE STRATEGY 

  • Increase number of Circle of Security groups to 25 groups 
  • Expand audience / participation, including refresher groups and more Spanish language groups 
  • Continue to remove barriers to participation 

THE OUTCOME WE'RE AIMING FOR

  • The proven Circle of Security model can fundamentally change how people parent and care for children, and we want to take it to scale so all children can thrive.     
  • 750 children impacted 
  • Stress levels reduced - Better relationships with children
