Donate

Everything we do is grounded in long-term relationships, because human beings were made to work together. That means we can’t truly thrive in isolation—we need the help of others, like you.

Wellspring’s success depends on the generosity of compassionate people and organizations who believe in the power of transformative healing.

Your donation helps us continue providing exceptional, life-changing care rather than temporary, short-term crisis intervention—so those we serve can truly heal, grow, and build brighter futures.

Please make a gift today to help the young people in our care re-discover their dreams, their highest potential, and their truest, most wonderful self.

The Wellspring Giving Tree

Our donor tree wall in the main lobby of the Dodds Family Center for Arts and Athletics was designed in the fall of 2015, creating a beautiful space for friends of Wellspring to commemorate loved ones and share messages of hope and healing with the Wellspring community.

We invite you, your family, or your business to have your name and/or special message inscribed on a leaf of the tree. Sponsorship levels of $100, $500, and $1,000 are available.

Small Footprint, Huge Impact

Sometimes donors are looking for those organizations who will have the greatest impact on the most lives. They would like to solve the problems of world hunger or find a cure for cancer. We’d like that, too!

But our footprint is small. Intentionally. We are not a franchise. We work with one child at a time, one family at a time, one life at a time. Our treatment, while professional, is also personal and relational. The wounds our clients bring are relational wounds. They can only be healed relationally. Our staff must and do bring their full selves to the table. They must partner with our families to optimally repair. Not through words alone—though we cherish words—but through fully transformative open-hearted restorative experiences.

Our residential programs serve adolescent girls and young women. Each comes to us in some form of personal darkness, many with no hope or desire to live. Their families are desperate and often exhausted from trying.

Here they find hope.

Each of our graduates out there now, having found her way, is making an impact on everyone she touches, now and for future generations to come. She may not tell anyone that she once needed residential treatment and a therapeutic school.

No one may know that she once did not think she would be alive for her high school or college graduation.

Now she writes to us, and her parents write to us: You saved my life. Or better yet: You gave me the tools to save my own life.

We like that.

Quiet.

One small footprint at a time.
