Now that KidWorks Bishop Manor is open, we need your help to fill the center with students who dream big, work hard, and grow into the next generation of leaders and the future workforce of Orange County.
Every $5,000 sponsors a student at Bishop Manor for an entire year—empowering them to learn, grow, and lead. Your gift of any amount helps more students achieve their dreams and build a brighter future.
Based on a 10-month program year, that’s just $500 per month or $100 per week—a small investment with life-changing returns.
$25,000: Fund five students for an entire year of academic enrichment, mentorship, and leadership development.
$15,000: Provides a full semester of college and career readiness programming, giving students the opportunity to explore careers, apply to college, and believe in their future.
$10,000: Fund a year of mentorship programming. Your gift pairs caring mentors with students who need someone to believe in them, just as Eva once needed.
$5,000: Support one student for a full year of academic, leadership, spiritual and emotional support
$2,500: Provide one student with six months of enriching programs and steady guidance to help them thrive
$1,000: Fund one month of after-school programs for two students
$500: Fund one week of life-changing college visits for a student and help them see that higher education is within their reach.
$250: Provide one week of engaging academic and leadership programs for three students
$100: Provide one student with a week of learning, belonging, and inspiration that builds confidence and hope.
Because of KidWorks, I learned perseverance, compassion, and how to give back. Today, I get to lead the very center that once helped me find my purpose.

Because several favorable provisions sunset after 2025, making your charitable gifts before December 31 may allow you to maximize current tax benefit.
Please note: The recent passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) on July 4, 2025, is ushering in a new era of charitable contribution planning. While many key provisions are not effective until January 1, 2026, this makes the few remaining weeks of 2025 a critical window for maximizing your tax benefits.
