Dear Friends of First Star,

We have an exciting opportunity to share with you! 

Members of the First Star Board of Directors have pledged a generous 1-1 matching gift up to $25,000 during Foster Care Awareness Month. Every dollar you contribute during the month of May will effectively double your impact and get us closer to unlocking the full match.

With your support, we can raise a total of $50,000 in just one month, making a meaningful difference in the lives of the First Star scholars!

Your contribution will provide the resources to ensure our students continue to outpace their peers.  97% of our scholars graduate high school and an impressive 91% continue to post-secondary education. With your help we can expand opportunities for our foster youth!
