As the year ends, there’s no better time to make a meaningful impact than with a year-end gift to Maryvale. Founded in 1856, Maryvale is Los Angeles’ oldest children’s charity and has been committed to uplifting families and youth for over a century and a half. Recognized for our ability to adapt in tough times, we have served the community through the continued generosity of supporters like you—individuals and families who believe in our mission and choose to make a difference through gifts of time, talent, and treasure.

Maryvale’s programs offer more than immediate assistance—they create a path to resilience and hope for vulnerable children and families. Every contribution you make fuels our essential services, supports a strong foundation for our programs, and helps us provide healing and education to those who need it most. With your support, we can continue delivering the highest quality care with a commitment to evidence-based practices and an efficient use of resources, keeping our administrative and fundraising costs below 14% of our overall budget.

Here’s how your generosity makes a lasting impact:

Your gift helps fund Maryvale’s extensive mental health services, including trauma-informed care and intensive outpatient programs for youth and families facing mental health challenges. These programs provide healing and support for children who have experienced trauma, reducing the long-term effects on school, relationships, and life.

Through Maryvale’s Connections by Maryvale program, families can receive continuous care and support. With your donation, Maryvale’s mental health resources can expand to meet the growing needs of our community.

2. Empowering Educational Growth and Development

Maryvale’s Early Education Centers provide a strong foundation for children to succeed in school and beyond. These centers foster cognitive development and teach critical social and emotional skills, equipping children with tools to face life’s challenges. Your year-end gift supports Maryvale’s high-quality early education that helps every child flourish. Education is a profound ripple effect—when you invest in a child’s early learning, you create opportunities for lifelong success.

3. Providing Safe and Stable Housing for Vulnerable Families

For families experiencing homelessness or housing instability, Maryvale’s Seton House program provides safe and stable temporary housing. Families receive more than a roof over their heads—they gain access to case management, mental health support, life skills training, and a nurturing environment to heal and rebuild.

Your support ensures these families have the resources they need to overcome barriers and transition toward self-sufficiency.

4. Strengthening Family Bonds and Community Connections

Maryvale believes in the power of family. Through parenting workshops, family counseling, and wraparound services, families grow stronger together. These programs not only strengthen bonds within families but also foster resilience and build confidence for the future.

How to Make a Lasting Impact

Every gift, no matter the size, is vital in sustaining Maryvale’s work. As we close another year, we encourage you to join us in supporting the children, families, and individuals who rely on Maryvale. A year-end gift is more than just a donation—it’s an investment in the strength and resilience of our community.

Together, we can provide a brighter future for every child and family in need.
