HOW DONORS HELP

Every donation to Intermountain Centers supports the agency’s mission of providing the highest quality, community-based, individualized services to at-risk Arizonans. Contributions of cash and/or goods and services from individuals, foundations and corporations supply Intermountain Centers for Human Development with critically needed funds which enhance our clients’ lives- nearly 20,000 children, adults, and their families each year.

Gifts may be designated to programs in any location, to specific programs for children or adults, or to a specific facility within a program. Undesignated gifts are used to offset expenses in the area of greatest need and secure a future built on our clients’ individual strengths and interests.

Intermountain staff members are firmly committed to addressing the needs of those we serve in individualized ways that integrate strength, culture, and greater independence. We need your help in creating positive new life skills and building lives for at-risk members of the Arizona communities we serve and in developing new opportunities for Arizona families that lack the resources to provide for their children!
