Who We Are
							
							
							MyFriends is a 
							charitable foundation that was established in 1972 
							with the sole objective of raising funds to aid 
							abused, abandoned and traumatized children. 
							During this time 
							we have contributed over $3,250,000 to help 
							children.
							
							
							The Board of Directors and volunteers -- we have no 
							paid staff -- raise monies each year; we then 
							distribute monies to projects that serve  
							children without excessive administrative costs.  
							Many organizations are new, under-funded and have 
							not yet developed their own fund-raising 
							capabilities.  
							
							Once 
							the organizations are self-sufficient,
							MyFriends continues its 
							work by selecting another deserving organization. We 
							are a financial resource center for organizations 
							working to relieve the unique problems of children 
							in crisis.  Young people depend on these 
							benevolent groups.  Every year the demand is 
							greater, and we need your help today.
