FANily Circle Overview

  • The FANily Circle is

    FAN-DC’s community of monthly supporters, people who believe that youth in Ward 8 deserve dependable support, emotional safety, and a village that shows up.

    Your monthly gift strengthens our Youth-Focused Peer Operated Center and helps us provide:

    • Consistent afterschool programming

    • Family support and alumni care

    • Hot meals and pantry essentials

    • Safe transportation to and from FAN

    • Crisis support and case management

    • Peer-led, trauma-informed services

    At FAN, we don’t talk about “donors.”
    We talk about community, connection, and linked hearts.
    That’s what the FANily Circle represents.

  • Monthly giving allows us to stay steady, even when funding fluctuates or needs increase. It helps us:

    • Plan with confidence, knowing support is consistent

    • Cover the essentials like meals, transportation, and program supplies

    • Respond quickly in emergencies, whether a family is facing eviction or a youth needs immediate intervention

    • Keep our van running so youth can travel safely and families can receive groceries

    • Support alumni and caregivers through moments that require stability and care

    • Maintain predictable staffing for trauma-informed programming

    Monthly gifts create the foundation our youth and families can count on.

“I donate monthly to support the enriching programming FAN provides to the kids and their families in the community, from the trips that help them connect with nature to the community pantry to the arts and writing workshops. FAN stands in the gap to provide children with what all children need- a place to learn, grow, and be safe and happy.”

“I donate because I see how much this program supports a highly overlooked community and how difficult it is to get funds from outside sources. The experiences I’ve seen them be able to provide the children that exposes them to things they may never have imagined they’d do and enjoy is something I want to help ensure continues to be a possibility for the children.”
