FSN NEW RELEASE
Family Strengths Network (FSN) announces a fundraiser for its Los Alamos Community Foundation (LACF) Agency Fund to be matched by N3B. N3B has agreed to match up to $1,500 in raised funds from April 17 through April 30.
FSN started as a child abuse prevention organization in Los Alamos in 1989 and has grown greatly in its offerings to families of Los Alamos and surrounding communities. Its mission is to provide education, support groups, and fun activities to all types of families, parents, teens and children. Today, the programs include a variety of STEAM activities, music, playdates, parenting classes and support groups. It also has a toy lending library and a great collection of books covering an array of parenting and family topics. FSN mainly relies on donations and grants to fund programs.
LACF supports local nonprofits by helping them grow in capacity and ability to improve quality of life in the community. One way of doing so is through agency funds. Individuals donate to the agency fund, which LACF manages and invests for the nonprofit organization. Investment income is distributed to the nonprofit annually which over time provides a steady source of income and sustainable support. The ultimate goal is that this steady income will allow FSN to maintain and increase its value to local families.
