What Is a PromiseGiver?
PromiseGivers are monthly partners who help MentorKids show up for students all year long.
Through six Promise Neighborhoods in Phoenix, students receive consistent mentorship, academic support, and leadership development in the communities they call home. Faith-based curriculum and trusted relationships create space for students to grow spiritually as well.
Monthly gifts help provide the staff, transportation, meals, learning resources, and leadership opportunities that make this long-term work possible.
Together, PromiseGivers help build the steady foundation students need to keep growing into leaders in their lives, their families, and their communities.
What your monthly gift sustains
One-time gifts help meet important needs. Monthly gifts create the consistency long-term growth requires.
“We’ve been PromiseGivers for several years because we love knowing we’re part of something bigger. It’s incredible to see the long-term impact MentorKids is making in the lives of students, families, and entire communities.”

Investment For The Long Term
When you become a PromiseGiver, you join a community of committed partners who believe students grow through consistent relationships, meaningful opportunities, and a clear pathway to leadership.

“I can honestly say I’ve never seen any organization that’s more frugal than MentorKids is. They actually make every dollar count, and they probably make it count more than once. I want the money that God has given me to steward to count, and I want to give to organizations that are really making a difference in the lives of youth.”
