Give Back, Give Hope

Here is an important message from our former Board President, Willard Ogan.

Family Paths is a recognized leader in Alameda County for Community Mental Health Services.
Most programs and services are funded by contracts from county, state and local sources; however, none completely cover costs.
In FY 2016-2017, we provided $54,000 in pro-bono services. Your generosity offsets funding gaps and allows continued service to those without any coverage.

Your tax-deductible donation goes directly to supporting the critical programs and services of Family Paths.

Thank you for your interest in supporting Family Paths with a donation.

If you’d like to donate with a check, mail your check made payable to Family Paths to 1727 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, Suite 109, Oakland, CA 94612.

If you would like to discuss legacy giving or grant opportunities, please contact Kimberly Cohn, Head of Development, at kcohn@familypaths.org,
