Ryther Child Center depends on the generosity of the public for a full 22 percent of our funding. In 2005, 85 cents of every dollar went directly to support our programs. Ryther is a 501(c)(3) organization, and donations are tax deductible to the extent allowable by law. A gift of any size makes a difference to our children. For instance:

• $10 will purchase toiletries, school supplies or other necessities for a youngster newly arrived at Ryther
• $25 allows teens in our chemical dependency cottages to learn a new, fun and sober hobby like hiking or knitting
• $50 provides a group therapy session for 10 children in residence
• $75 supplies warm, well-fitting clothing for a child in foster care
• $100 buys an hour of specialized treatment for an abused child
• $250 allows Ryther's staff 3 hours of consultation with a nationally-recognized expert in sexual behaviors in children
