 FUNDING-IS
COMMUNITY BASED!
Seton Youth Shelters enjoys a diversified funding base for its
shelter and counseling programs; approximately 64% of operational costs are supported
by community donations which consist of individual gifts, civic contributions,
church donations, business gifts and local foundation grants and placement
fees from the local departments of social services. The remaining 36%
of shelter and counseling expenses are covered through federal government
grants through the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act of 1974.
Community donations are vital to continued operations and represent
64% of our program support.
SPECIAL FUNDRAISING EVENTS continue to grow and represent about
11% of our annual income; events include our Annual Derby
Day Party, an Annual Golf Outing, an Annual Fashion Show and our Annual
Monster Mash Costume Party. Sponsorships
are available for all events and volunteers are needed!
Shelter costs per day, per youth equal $ 125.00. The average length
of stay is 20 days which means that each youth provided residential
care costs a total of $2500.

Because no program can grow to fulfill its vision without permanent
funding, our Endowment Fund was established in 2002. Each year,
a portion of income earned through special fundraising events and from
our Thrift
Store is allocated for this fund. This year, 50% of funds received through
our Annual Fund Campaign will also be set aside for the future of our
organization and credited to the Endowment Fund.
