Keeping
Southmountain Children and Family Services in a position to provide the best in
quality services requires financial assistance from many venues. The primary
sources of income for our programs are as follows:
Government Funds:
As with almost all licensed facilities, we qualify for Federal Title IV-E funds
and some state funds set aside by the Legislature each year. Additionally, some
of the services we provide are eligible for Medicaid reimbursement. However, in
times of economic stress like our government is facing today these funds are
unstable and cannot be guaranteed.
Foundations and Trusts:
Another major source of funding for us is grants from Foundations and Trusts.
These grants are usually specifically designated for the startup of new programs
or for building new facilities. We at Southmountain have been very fortunate
with our grant writing. Over the last decade, Foundations and Trusts such as the
Duke Endowment, the Kate B. Reynolds Health Care Trust, and the E. Rhodes and
Leona B. Carpenter Foundation have awarded us major grants that have allowed us
to build new homes and recreation facilities for the children in care, as well
as start new programs such as the Family Support Center. Without these major
contributors, raising funds to improve and grow our programs would be almost
impossible.
Personal Contributions:
The most important venue of funding by far is the generosity of friends and
caring individuals who wish to insure the day-to-day operation of our programs.
Gifts from individuals, businesses, churches, and civic and fraternal
organizations are vital to our survival. Without these generous donations, we
simply could not continue to provide services to children and families.

supporters of Southmountain Children and Family Services. In addition to general
