Giving Tuesday
Join us this Giving Tuesday in uplifting the lives of young people in foster care. Your support can change the lives of some of our society’s most vulnerable youth and helps prevent negative outcomes often associated with foster care.
First Star is raising funds for our scholars this Giving Tuesday. Donations at this time of year will support First Star’s work and our Alumni Microgrants program, which helps our scholars and alumni overcome resource barriers as they pursue post-secondary goals. Thank you for being a bright spot in the lives of our scholars this holiday season.
