Financial Success
In 2005 we were given a great gift when The Helen M. McLoraine Parent Pathways Endowment Fund was established with a $750,000 investment.  The remaining amount of this million dollar endowment was to be added as Parent Pathways raised a matching amount of $250,000 for annual operations.  We are thrilled to tell you that we have met the terms of the match!  Thanks to your unfailing generosity and this added boost to our annual budget, we ended this fiscal year by funding all of our cash expenses and almost all of our depreciation.  With your continued support, we look forward to meeting the growing demand in our community to help teen parents raise healthy families.
