A bed for a child. A STEAM kit in a student’s hands. A child finding a holiday gift under the tree. A new scholar welcomed into a community. A mentor showing up and saying, “I believe in you.”

This is what community support looks like in action.

This winter, WAYFINDERS plans to welcome 35 new scholars and connect them with 35 new mentors. Beds for Kids is preparing to serve more families during the holiday season. digibridgeUS continues creating hands-on opportunities for students to learn, explore and build skills for the future. And Families Forward Charlotte is helping provide holiday gifts and winter essentials to children and families in need, easing financial stress during the holiday season.

Through Charlotte W**e + Food, your support helps fuel the work of all four of our local beneficiaries serving children and families across Charlotte.

This fall, we’re working toward an additional $20,000 through DAFday CLT, bringing our total distributed to $500,000 by the end of the year.

You’ve set it aside. Now put it to work for Charlotte.

DAFday CLT is coming October 8. If you have a donor-advised fund (DAF), you’ve already set aside charitable dollars to support the causes you care about.

Across America, approximately $326 billion has been set aside in donor-advised funds—charitable dollars already earmarked for philanthropy. This October, you can direct those dollars to Charlotte W**e + Food and help put them to work for children and families across Charlotte.

In June, we distributed $480,000 to our beneficiaries. This October, our goal is to raise an additional $20,000 through DAFday CLT, bringing the total distributed to $500,000 by the end of the year.

Together, our beneficiaries reach more than 2,500 children and their families each year, providing essential resources, educational opportunities, family support, and mentorship across our community.
