Story

Support GivingTuesdayNow!

A Better Chance continues to adapt as the COVID-19 outbreak redefines how we offer our life-changing programming to thousands of families and Scholars nationwide. To provide the necessary funding for the needed changes and modifications, A Better Chance is excited to announce our participation in GivingTuesdayNow. Set for May 5th, GivingTuesdayNow is a worldwide day of support to nonprofit organizations to respond to the challenges caused by the global pandemic. A Better Chance asks you to join us as we set an ambitious but necessary goal of $40,000, revenue necessary for the retention of our Scholars and critical adjustments to our programming.

GivingTuesdayNow creates an opportunity to serve and protect our families affected most by this crisis. It is in this spirit, we ask you to support A Better Chance on May 5th in two ways:

1. Directly support A Better Chance through a donation on May 5th

2. Hold a fundraiser for A Better Chance with your friends and family

Without your help, harsh realities will be faced and opportunities will be lost. We need your investment now to ensure we continue to offer life-changing educational opportunities to talented students of color.
