Together, we are All In, and we will come through this experience stronger, wiser, and closer together. We could not do this without you and we are so grateful that we are in All In this together. Below are specific ways in which you can help.
BASIC NEEDS
Many men in our program are either unemployed or under employed. This allows us to help them buy personal hygiene products for themselves.
1HR SUPERVISED VISITATION
When a visiting parent is ordered to use Family Matters supervised visitation services. He/she must pay for the services. We offer services on a sliding scale making it more affordable for our families. This will sponsor a 1hr supervised visit for a struggling parent.
FATHER/FAMILY ENGAGEMENT
99% of the fathers enrolled in our programming are non-custodial fathers. When they get their children for the weekend, they are unable to take them somewhere nice because of lack of finances or resources. This will sponsor a dad creating new memories with their child during their weekend visit.
TEMPORARY SHELTER FOR DAD
& CHILD 1 NIGHT
If a father is displaced from his home, it becomes extremely difficult for him to find temporary housing or shelter where he çan dwell with his child. When fathers utilize local shelters, they are unable to keep their children with them. Whereas mothers have several agencies that allow mother and child shelter support. This will allow us to help dad get a hotel for a night or two until we connect him to additional services.
2HR SUPERVISED VISITATION WITH TWO CHILDREN
When a visiting parent is ordered to use Family Matters supervised visitation services with two children. There is an additional $10 charge. This will sponsor a 2hr supervised visit for a struggling parent with two children.
ATTORNEY FEES
We partner with a local legal service agency that provides free legal support. In the case that the father does not qualify for their services, he must retain his own lawyer. InvolvedDad, has partnered with a private attorney that provides guidance and support for those that cannot afford to retain a lawyer. In most cases, we pay their bill. This will allow us to provide legal support for non represented fathers. (Billed $75 hr)
TRANSPORTATION / REPAIRS
There are times when fathers are unable to get to work or see their children due to inoperable vehicles. Fathers that are in our progrom and complying with agency expectations we will support or assist with minor vehicle repoirs or maintenance to keep father and child engagement progressing,
YOUR CHOICE
Your support is life altering. You can bring hope and healing to someone who desperately needs assistance. Every cent counts!
Transform Lives, Heal Families, Restore Hope
Every child deserves a loving, engaged father. Yet in Genesee County, too many children grow up without one—often due to trauma, addiction, incarceration, or lack of support. At InvolvedDad, we’re breaking that cycle by meeting fathers where they are and equipping them to become the parents their children deserve.
Your gift powers transformational programs like IMPACT, SHIELD, PROTECT, DIALOGUE, Family Matters, Family Forward, and The King’s Table—each one helping fathers heal, grow, and reconnect with their families. From parenting education and domestic violence intervention to supervised visitation and mentorship, every dollar creates a lasting impact. In addition, your support helps us host powerful community events such as the Fatherhood Legacy Luncheon, Daddy Do My Hair, Raising Kings, and the Fatherhood Forum—bringing fathers, families, and community partners together to uplift and inspire.
If you would like your donation to support a specific event or initiative, please indicate that when submitting your sponsorship.
