Big Brothers Big Sisters Needs YOU.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Charlotte receives 75% of our funding from private donations. Support from individuals like you is vital to provide mentors for children in Charlotte and Cabarrus counties.
And we know they need them. It isn’t easy being a kid these days. In these complex and confusing times, children need a caring adult to be a mentor and a friend — someone they can talk to, have fun with, and learn from.
Research shows that our mentoring works. Kids with a Big Brother or Big Sister show real differences in their personal and academic lives. They are:
- More confident in their schoolwork performance
- Able to get along better with their families
- 52% less likely to skip school. 1
92.2% of every dollar you give goes directly to making and supporting matches. The remainder covers overall program administration. We know Bigs & Littles need the program, and we know that’s how you want your contributions used.
Your donation will be used to:
- Help recruit new Big Brother and Big Sister volunteers
- Assist in administrative costs (insurance, etc.) while ensuring trained professionals match children to caring and responsible Bigs
- Offering one-on-one, ongoing supervision and support for every match
- Providing cultural and social activities to enrich the opportunities for children

Your donation goes to our community. When you make a gift to Big Brothers Big Sisters, you directly support children in our community.
No matter how much you give, your contribution will improve the lives of young people in our community. Your donation will help them meet the challenges of growing up into happy, confident young adults.
