Supporting Butterfield

From the first day that Tom Butterfield opened his heart to troubled children, the financial support of friends has been essential. Today, over 10,000 individuals from across the United States make up the Butterfield family of friends. From $5 to $1,000, from occasional gifts to monthly gifts, from cash to used clothing, these friends provide over one-third of the agency's annual operating income.

Since all of the children living at Butterfield's are placed by one of several state agencies, the State of Missouri provides a significant portion of our overall income. However, Butterfield depends on caring friends to provide the difference between just having the children living here and having an impact on their lives. Now it is both safe and easy to Donate Online.

Friends can choose a variety of ways to help. Contact Ellie Butterfield or Matt Van Vactor if you wish to help, or if you wish to know more about how your sharing can help the children.
