Donations
Since the beginning of the Mentor Duluth program, formerly known as the Fatherless Boys Association and Friendship Between the Ages, the program has been operated through donations from foundations, local/state/federal grants, individuals, and community contributions. Without these funding sources, Mentor Duluth would not be in existence.
Mentor Duluth is a non-profit organization. All donations given to the program are tax deductible. Donated funds are used for programming, such as buying materials for our student mentoring groups, transportation, tickets to a variety of activities and events and volunteer recruitment.
By donating to the Mentor Duluth program, you can help a child grow. Donations can be in many forms. If you're a business who wants to donate event tickets, you may be sending a child to an event he/she would not have the chance to experience otherwise. If you would like to make a contribution, please call 722-4745 ext. 120.
