2023 Annual Appeal
Dear Supporter of the Family Development Center,
We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your steadfast support of our programs. Our primary focus is on families and children, with our initiatives reaching 8 out of 10 families in Routt County with children aged birth to 5 years. Thanks to your generous donations, we have been able to assist families for the past 39 years, and we take pride in continuing to offer crucial family support.
As families embark on the journey of parenthood and children develop social and emotional skills, we understand the importance of providing a strong foundation for kindergarten readiness. Babies and children don't come with instruction manuals, and that's where we step in to support families and children.
We are reaching out to you with an appeal to contribute to our cause. Your support is vital for us to sustain and expand our services. Moreover, your donation may qualify you for a 50% tax credit on your Colorado state income tax – a meaningful way for you to give and receive.
The Family Development Center is dedicated to educating and caring for young children and their
families through our three programs: Discovery Learning Center, Newborn Network, and Child Care Network.
Thanks to gifts like yours, we have served hundreds of young children and families.
