Top 2004 Goal: Fulfilling Our Vision

Family Resource Center has launched a campaign aimed at increasing program dollars to 18 health, housing and human services agencies that provide essential services to 48,000 people (and their families) each year from the Center. Family Resource Center's "Fulfilling our Vision" campaign will counteract many devastating cutbacks and ongoing financial pressures experienced by the independent agencies operating from our unique nonprofit hub.(See a listing of King County cuts here...)  The poor economy has impacted all nonprofits by causing an increased need for services during a time of dramatic decreases in funding. Many agencies have received devastating cuts over the last several years, forcing layoffs and curtailment of services. The need for stable funding is real. The potential for irreplaceable losses is significant.

 Our project works this way. By completing the payoff on the nonprofit Center's mortgage, our campaign will put an additional $154,000 to work at 18 agencies each year for the next 15 years. For our largest agency, Hopelink, the benefit will amount to approximately $40,000 each year; for Community Health Centers of King County, more than $38,000 will be gained.  In total, the $1.7 million campaign will redirect $2.8 million from interest and principal payments to funding for transitional housing, emergency food and heat, programs for at-risk youth, medical and dental care and much more. The campaign provides a positive, sustainable answer to limited funding and strongly supports the East King County region’s human services delivery system.

2004 Goals and Activities

We Build the Capacity of Agencies to Serve

• Family Resource Center is conducting a $1.7 million capital campaign to pay off its mortgage and thereby lower the overhead costs of FRC agencies.
• FRC designs tools to improve community access to services and increase campus-cross referrals.
• FRC offers nonprofit administration classes on campus to provide very low cost and highly convenient education. 

We Reach Out to the Community 

• FRC will host the seventh annual Eastside Volunteer Fair on April 24 at Redmond Town Center to increase FRC visibility and to increase agency volunteers during National Volunteer Week.  Nonprofits from around the Eastside join with campus agencies to provide a "one-stop" opportunity for the community to learn about volunteer opportunities.
• FRC develops marketing tools that increase awareness of available services such as a web page, brochure, newsletter, press releases and other promotional tools.
• In order to enhance nonprofit advocacy and education, FRC is the fiscal and administrative sponsor of Eastside Human Services Alliance.

We Develop a Campus Community and Improve a Unique Community Asset

• FRC works to ensure that tenants at FRC provide direct services that add to or complement services delivered on campus and that benefit the Eastside communities that FRC serves.
• The Family Resource Center Association meets to provide a forum for sharing information and joint planning.
• FRC conducts the planning, implementation and fundraising to maintain and improve the campus, such as undertaking ADA upgrades and signage programs.
