SpoFI 2.0: Doubling Our Impact for Spokane Fathers

115 years ago, Spokane gave the world Father's Day. This year, help us give fathers the tools they need to transform their families.

The Vision: SpoFI 2.0

Since launching our signature 24/7 Dad program in 2018, we've celebrated an incredible milestone: we've issued 725 Certificates of Completion with a remarkable 93% completion rate. These aren't just numbers—they represent families reunited, children with present fathers, and generational patterns broken.

But here's what keeps us up at night: we're at capacity.

Fathers ready to change are sitting on waiting lists. We're teaching in borrowed spaces because our building is full. Families wait nearly three weeks for services that could transform their lives today.

SpoFI 2.0 is our vision to double our impact over the next three years—from serving hundreds to reaching thousands of fathers across our region.

What Doubling Our Impact Looks Like

More Fathers Served

From 8 classes to 16+ classes running simultaneously
From 200 annual graduates to 400+ transformed fathers
From 2 locations to multiple sites across Spokane County

Stronger Support System

Dedicated Program Manager to coordinate expanded offerings
Communications Specialist to share more success stories
Development Director to secure sustainable funding
Additional support staff to handle growing demand

Greater Community Impact

More children with engaged, equipped fathers
Reduced family court caseloads through prevention
Stronger neighborhoods through stable families
Breaking cycles of fatherlessness that span generations

The Urgent Need

Right now, we have:

6 programs running concurrently, serving 60+ men each session
Classes at maximum capacity with waiting lists
Stretched staff managing more demand than our systems can handle
Borrowed classroom space because we've outgrown our facility

We have the proven curriculum. We have dedicated staff who believe in transformation. We just need the resources to serve everyone who's ready to change.
