The Name Your Impact – Pledge program at Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation (AFFCF) is an exclusive opportunity for dedicated annual donors to create lasting impact that uplifts Arizona’s most resilient children and youth, those impacted by foster care.
With a minimum annual pledge of $25,000 for at least three consecutive years, donors can establish a Named pledge that directly supports one of AFFCF’s core programs and tells the origin or impetus for your Pledge.
Educational support for youth aging out of foster care which includes post-secondary scholarships, vocational education, and persistence (e.g. emergency) pledging while in school.
Career development, job training, independent living preparation, and housing assistance for youth ages 16-26.
Enrichment opportunities like sports, music, dance, tutoring, and camps.
Creating a named pledge enables you to direct your philanthropy toward a specific area of impact, Education (Post-secondary), Career Success (Keys to Success) or Enrichment (Child and Youth Activities) where your values and passion align with the needs of Arizona’s foster youth.
Your pledge can serve as a rallying point for your family, friends, or corporate network. If the donor desires, we provide you with a dedicated giving link, customizable promotional materials, and updates so your community can contribute directly to the pledge you’ve established.
AFFCF will share the story behind your pledge, with your permission, on our website, in newsletters, and in specific program related donor reports, showcasing your commitment and the impact you’re making. You’ll receive ongoing recognition as a visionary supporter of our mission.
Named pledge donors will be invited to exclusive updates and gatherings with AFFCF leadership, program beneficiaries, and other major donors. We’ll share annual outcomes from your pledge and work with you to highlight key milestones.
Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, honoring someone special, or simply leaving a mark on the lives of children and youth who need it most, a named pledge ensures your gift will be remembered well into the future without an endowed commitment.
Your Named pledge allows AFFCF to plan and support the current and future needs of Arizona Foster Children, providing revenue predictability and responsible program growth.

The Durfee Fostering Transitions pledge was created by a visionary family who saw the long-term value in supporting youth aging out of foster care. Through their named pledge, dozens of youth have gained access to mentorship, education, and career preparation that helped them thrive during one of life’s most critical transitions. Their model has become a beacon for what sustained generosity can do, and yours can too.
We invite you to create your own legacy through a Named pledge at AFFCF. Whether you’ve supported foster children and youth for years or are just beginning your journey as a sustained major donor, this is your opportunity to make your giving deeply personal, visible, and recurring. Let’s build your pledge together and provide a successful pathway for Arizona’s foster youth.
