LAST CHANCE TO DONATE! MATCH OPPORTUNITY: NOW - December 1st
Long-time supporter of the Marjaree Mason Center, The Isnardi Foundation, who previously made a donation which is being honored by naming our new building the Isnardi Foundation Building, has committed an additional $1 million in matching funds in order to inspire a second public fundraising campaign to finish fundraising for this project.
That's right! Every donation made now through December 1 toward the Courage Takes Root capital campaign will be matched up to $1 MILLION!
We are proud to say that we’re over 90% of the way there!
Whether you give $5, $20, $100, your contribution will go twice as far, supporting thousands of adults and children in our community for generations to come.
HOW IT ALL STARTED:
In December of 2022, The Marjaree Mason Center purchased a 5.5- acre property in Fresno with an existing 37,680 sq. ft. building. In its 60-year history, the building was home to several educational organizations including Heald College and the Milan Institute. Now, it’s in the process of being modernized to meet today’s building and operational standards to become a 24/7 trauma-informed facility dedicated to serving survivors of domestic violence.
Construction is set to be complete by the end of December this year but we still need your help to reach our goal and fully fund this project!
The Marjaree Mason Center’s new Isnardi Foundation Building will be our 24/7 trauma-informed crisis drop-in center, and it will house all of our non-residential survivor services including individual counseling, group therapy, legal advocacy and children’s services, as well as our prevention and early intervention efforts.
Your donation is an investment in more than just a larger physical space. It is an investment in thousands of adults and children whose lives will be transformed as the Marjaree Mason Center empowers them to move from fear and abuse to safety and stability. It is an investment in strengthening our ability to provide the comfort, courage, hope, confidence, dignity and respect that all survivors deserve.
