Advocates of the Center for Families

Since 1994, individual donors and organizations have made the decision to support research that impacts families. In its creation, the Center worked with donors to create an honorary level of giving – The Center for Families Advocates.

The Advocate donor level acknowledges those who have donated more than $10,000 to the Center. They have given to the Center in many ways including a onetime gift, or a pledge of $1000 per year for 10 years.

Support Strong Families – Strong Future, as CFF celebrates 30 years!
The Center for Families is recruiting its newest advocates! With gratitude to many generous individuals, CFF has been able to support family research that addresses changing needs of families and facilitates their significant contributions to society for 30 years. Advocates ensure the work of the Center will address current needs and issues families are facing and identify resources to help strengthen all families. With a gift of $10,000, you help ensure the work of the center will be supported for the next 30 years. Contact Christy Harrison, at Purdue for Life, to learn more!
