Sustaining Giver

Become a Sustaining Giver

Lasting change starts with you!

Turn Compassion Into Consistent Impact

Children impacted by trauma need more than a one-time response. Healing takes time—and it grows through safety, connection, and consistent support. As a Sustaining Giver, your compassion becomes action—month after month. Your monthly gift provides steady, reliable support for families, educators, and communities working to help children feel safer, more connected, and truly understood.

Why Give Monthly

Free for Families

ATN believes families should be able to access help without cost being a barrier. Sustaining Givers help keep trauma-informed, attachment-focused resources, support, and services available free of charge to caregivers of children impacted by trauma.

On-Going Impact in Schools

Your monthly gift supports educators and students all year long. Through programs like the Learning Brain Exchange, Creating Trauma-Sensitive Schools Conference, and Solution-Seeking Sessions for Educators, you help provide ongoing training and tools to meet students’ needs for safety, connection, and emotional regulation.

Because communities are asking for help

ATN is regularly asked to share trauma-informed, attachment-focused strategies with schools, child welfare professionals, church groups, after-school programs, adoption professionals, and others. Monthly giving helps us say yes more often.

Imagine the Impact

What if your monthly gift could help a child feel safer, more connected, and understood?

What if it could help a caregiver feel less alone?
A teacher feel better equipped?
A community respond with more compassion and care?

That is the power of sustained support.

A Community Committed to Long-Term Healing

When you become a Sustaining Giver, you join a community of monthly donors committed to creating lasting change for children.

As part of this community, you’ll receive a quarterly impact newsletter with stories, updates, and examples of the difference your support is making throughout the year.

Sustaining givers of $50 or more per month will receive our favorite mug, loved by staff and friends.

Why Monthly Giving Works

Monthly giving is one of the most effective ways to support ATN’s mission. It allows us to plan ahead, respond to needs consistently, and direct more resources where they are needed most.

Small monthly gifts create lasting change.

Make Healing Possible All Year Long

A one-time gift helps.
A monthly gift sustains healing.

Join ATN’s Sustaining Giver community today and help children, families, and educators access the support they need—not just once, but all year long.

One traumatized child alone has a very small voice. One family who loves that child can make a huge difference for that child, but their voice is pretty small. But if many of us give, we can magnify that voice. Together we’re holding up a giant megaphone to help the world know what traumatized children and their families need.
