Top 5 Reasons to Donate to NFI

NFI’s new fiscal year starts on October 1, so we are already planning for “2014.” Here is how you can help us (with a tax deductible donation!) make it a banner year for educating, equipping, and engaging our nation about responsible fatherhood.

1)    Fund the next Father Facts
2)    Reunite military fathers with their children
3)    Help incarcerated fathers become better dads
4)    Be the voice for fatherhood
5)    Develop the next generation of fatherhood education

1)    Fund the next Father Facts
Every few years, NFI produces the industry-standard research compilation on the causes and consequences of father absence. We call it Father Facts; we will produce Father Facts 7 in 2014. A donation of just $10 will go towards helping us compile and produce the book that media, government, nonprofits, and every day parents use to get the latest data and research on fatherhood.

Fund the next Father Facts!

2) Reunite military fathers with their children
Since 2001, NFI has created and distributed a portfolio of fatherhood skill-building materials to the U.S. military. Since then, over 300,000 military dads have received an NFI resource. A donation of just $10 will help us equip even more military dads in 2014.

3) Help incarcerated fathers become better dads
Over 400 prisons across the country are using NFI’s program for incarcerated fathers, InsideOut Dad®. It is the only evidence-based program designed specifically for incarcerated fathers to help them connect with their children while in prison and successfully re-enter their communities upon release. It is even contributing to reducing recidivism, which is the rate at which people return to prison after leaving. So far, 25 state departments of corrections have “standardized” InsideOut Dad® for use across their states. Help us get the other 25 on board in 2014!

4) Be the voice for fatherhood
Since its founding in 1994, NFI has taken pride in its position as a prominent voice for fatherhood in media and government. In 2014, we will continue pounding the pavement in Washington, DC, advocating for policies that support fatherhood. And we will continue to hit the airwaves to talk about the unique and irreplaceable role that fathers play in their children’s lives.

Be the voice for fatherhood!

5) Develop the next generation of fatherhood education
At NFI, we are never satisfied with the status quo. We are always looking for ways to improve the skill-building materials we've created, and to create new ones that address what today's fathers are facing. In 2014, we already have plans to create a huge online tool to help fathers build their skills. Help us develop this and other cutting-edge fatherhood resources!
