Adopt a Match

Adopt a Match is a means of helping to financially support a Big Brother or Big Sister match. The direct cost of creating and supporting a one-to-one match is $1,000 a year.

Costs include:
  • Volunteer recruitment, screening, placement and orientation by BBBS Staff
  • Sexual abuse prevention training for parents, volunteers and children
  • Individual case planning, match monitoring and support
  • Recreational activities for the matches
  • Volunteer support group and training
  • Tutoring and summer camps
  • For a fully tax-deductible gift of $1,000, sponsors will:
    • Fund one match on an annual basis from its inception
    • Receive a personalized framed picture of the match
    • Receive a progress report of the match, as well as the BBBS annual report and newsletters
    • Meet their adopted match at an agency sponsored event, if desired
    • Have the satisfaction of knowing they have changed a pair of lives for the better

Individuals, organizations and groups of donors are all eligible to Adopt-A-Match. Payments may be made in a lump sum, quarterly or in ten installments.
