	The United Way distributes funds received from Calgary Donors, across many non-profit agencies and charities in Calgary. The EvenStart Foundation receives such a grant on an annual, contractual basis. Those funds are used to support grassroots activities directlyrelated to both child and family support. That program provides a minimum of fifteen visits per year by our Professional Staff (Psychologists, Social Workers, Special Needs Teachers, Speech and Language Pathologists, OT Practitioners, etc). EvenStart is thus able to assist with Parenting, Child Assessment, and Referrals to other Calgary social sector resources. EvenStart's Home Visitation Program is substantially assisted by Calgary Donors via a United Way grant.
	Centron has built a solid reputation as a caring, community-minded organization and example of servant leadership" in industry. Their consistent philosophy is "it is an honour to help”. It is EvenStart's experience that Centron's approach originates from a belief in the responsibility to support the community without an anticipated or strategic interest in business return. The result is quiet but impactful support from a business to the non-profit sector and, more importantly, to those whom the sector seeks to serve." Thank You Centron/ The Harris Family!

Safe Haven Foundation has been instrumental in support of the EvenStart for Children programs that provide educational and therapeutic interventions for our children 'at risk'. Funding received from Safe Haven Foudnation, within a three-year grant, provides sustainability for specialized therapy programs directly responsible for renewed child health and developmental progress. Thank You Safe Haven!
