This OTTP-NorCal client speaks about her journey with OTTP and the impact throughout the past five years, from when she first began services to today.

“Once you truly understand the scope of OTTP's work, it's hard to walk away, and even harder knowing there are needs going unfulfilled.”

— Heather Davis, donor since 2019

Monthly giving ensures consistent funding for programs that youth count on, no gaps, no interruptions.

More powerful over time

A monthly gift of any size compounds throughout the year, creating far greater impact than a single donation.

Effortless giving

Set it once and your gift automatically supports youth every month, no need to remember to give again.
