“Being a Governor provides an amazing opportunity to get to know and spend time with like-minded people. For me, that is the biggest draw; being part of a group of passionate people who share a desire to make the world better for others.”
Cassie Burns, co-chair, Board of Governors
This community, which includes nearly 600 generous and committed families from all over the United States, promotes Opportunity’s fight against poverty among their friends and colleagues.
Supporters who contribute $5,000 or more annually earn a membership to the Governors community and serve as advocates to their own personal or professional networks. They also receive benefits such as invitations to exclusive events, opportunities to connect with other Governors in their community, and regular updates on Opportunity’s work from leadership.
