What We Do

Support Children’s Growth and Well-Being: Your Donation Makes a Difference

Every year, we provide over 10,000 vital appointments to nearly 2,100 children in our community. These children come to us with diverse needs, from speech and language development to emotional support, academic tutoring, and more. With your help, we can continue offering life-changing services to those who need it most.

Our comprehensive programs include:

  • Speech Therapy: Empowering children to communicate confidently and effectively.
  • Occupational Therapy: Helping children develop the skills they need for daily life, from fine motor coordination to sensory processing.
  • Psychological Therapy: Nurturing emotional resilience and well-being.
  • Academic and Dyslexia Tutoring: Providing the tools to help children overcome learning challenges and reach their full potential.

Your generosity ensures that we can continue to support these children on their journey to a brighter future. Every donation, big or small, makes a direct impact. Join us in making a lasting difference in the lives of children who need it most. Donate today and help us continue our vital work!

 

Our Financial Landscape

Our annual budget stands at $2,700,000, but we rely on a mix of revenue sources to sustain our vital work:

  • Revenue from Direct Services & Insurance: $900,000

However, the heart of our funding lies in philanthropic support. We need to raise an additional $1,800,000 annually to bridge the gap.

The Power of Your Gift

Our development office is committed to raising $1,800,000 each year. We receive significant contributions from foundations but recognize the importance of diversifying our funding streams. That’s where you come in.

By contributing to our Annual Fund, you directly impact children’s lives. Here’s why it matters:

Stability:

The annual fund allows us to cover operating costs continuously. It ensures that our doors remain open, our therapists are available, and our programs thrive.

Reducing Uncertainty:

While foundation support is essential, we aim to reduce reliance on it. A robust annual fund provides stability, even during fluctuating external circumstances.

Long-Term Vision:

The annual fund will eventually provide 70% of our development efforts. With your help, we can build a sustainable future for Laughlin Children’s Center.

Your Gift in Action

Currently, our annual fund generates $100,000 for operations. Imagine the impact if we could increase that amount. Your generous donation of $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, or even $1,000 will directly support:

  • A child’s first steps toward clear speech.
  • A struggling reader finding confidence through dyslexia tutoring.
  • A young mind overcoming anxiety with psychological therapy.
  • A family receiving the support they need during challenging times.
