Just as the programs offered are driven by needs in our community, the Andre’ Bosse Centers rely heavily on tax-deductible donations from the community. The Andre’ Bosse Center is a not-for-profit 501(C)(3) organization.
Please consider how you can help support the Andre’ Bosse Centers.
Why we need your help:
- Over 296 children and families came to Andre’ Bosse Centers in 2007.
- All of the Centers’ services and programs are provided at no cost to those we serve.
(unless payment is dictated by Family Court- under 8%) - 85¢ of every $1 donated goes to child abuse programs and services.
The numbers are staggering:
- 1 in 4 girls will be sexually abused by the age of 18.
- 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused by the age of 18.
- There are nearly 3 million reports of abuse each year – that’s one every 10 seconds.
- The rate of child abuse is estimated to be 3 times greater than is reported.
Your donation ensures that the Andre’ Bosse Centers will continue to provide safe and child-friendly locations where children can go and receive support when they have been physically or sexually abused. Your donation creates a partnership that will help The Andre’ Bosse Centers, Law Enforcement, the Courts and the Department of Human Services protect countless numbers of children from child abuse.
Whether you are a longtime supporter or you are giving for the first time, we thank you on behalf of the children, families and communities we serve.
