Make a Donation:
Supporting The Mentoring Partnership of New York makes sense from the head…and the heart. When you give, you can be assured your gift will help expand the world of mentoring. Here's why:
According to a recent National Mentoring Poll sponsored by AOL Time Warner for MENTOR, 17.6 million young people are still waiting for a mentor to help them succeed. Finding enough mentors is a challenge. But the good news is that the same poll found that 57 million adults would seriously consider mentoring if they had access to an array of support services.
Even better, The Mentoring Partnership of New York and MENTOR/National Mentoring Partnership already are providing the very resources these potential mentors are seeking: a range of mentoring options (that take into account the adults' schedules and interests); quality orientation and training services; and expert assistance throughout the relationship.

Workplace Giving Programs
How can I give to The Mentoring Partnership of New York through the campaign?
You will be provided a pledge card during the kickoff campaign. Simply write MENTOR's CFC number 1546 in the space provided and designate funds to go to The Mentoring Partnership of New York. To ensure the donation goes to the organization, it also helps to add Federal Employer Identification Number: 52-1674088. If MENTOR or The Mentoring Partnership of New York do not appear as a charity of choice in your workplace campaign or if you have any questions, please contact the MENTOR office at 703-224-2200.
What is the Combined Federal Campaign?
The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) is the annual fundraising drive conducted by Federal employees in their workplace each fall. Each year Federal employees and military personnel raise millions of dollars through the CFC that benefits thousands of non-profit charities. To find out more about the CFC, read the CFC FAQs.
Does MENTOR receive my entire donation?
The local campaign will deduct fundraising expenses before we receive any funds. As a result, we do not receive the entire amount you pledge. If you would like to maximize your charitable giving, you may want to consider giving directly to The Mentoring Partnership of New York apart from the campaign. We also use an electronic funds transfer program through NetworkForGood.org designed to facilitate your giving. Regardless of the way you give we are thankful for your participation in support of mentoring! Please see the Donate page for details and options available.
Why does MENTOR participate in the CFC if the organization doesn't receive the entire donation?
We realize that employees are strongly encouraged to participate in workplace giving through the Combined Federal Campaign. Through our participation in the campaign we are able to provide you with a choice for your campaign donations.
What about non-CFC Campaigns? Can I give to MENTOR through my workplace campaign, United Way or State Employee Campaign?
Yes! You can simply write in The Mentoring Partnership of New York and our campaign number (#1546) and your employer will designate the funds to our organization. Your employer or campaign processor (i.e. Charities Funds Transfer) will take out a small percentage to process this donation.
Thank you again for your support of mentoring!
