River Jordan Inc. is a community-supported nonprofit organization that depends on the generosity of individuals, businesses, churches, and local foundations to keep our doors open and our mission moving forward. We receive no government funding or government contracts, and more than 85% of our support comes directly from the community. While we are grateful for the smaller grants awarded by local foundations, it is the ongoing generosity of everyday people and businesses that sustains our work. From financial contributions that help cover housing expenses, utilities, staffing, and daily operations to donations of feminine hygiene products, household essentials, and office supplies, every contribution plays an important role. Financial donations are especially critical because they provide the flexibility to meet our most urgent needs and maintain the programs and services that young adults transitioning from foster care depend on. When you give to River Jordan, you’re doing more than making a donation—you’re becoming part of a community that is helping young adults build stability, develop independence, and create a future beyond foster care. We cannot do this work without you.
