$40,000 Goal

At The Family Center / La Familia, we believe that when families thrive, our entire community flourishes. Every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and dream big — and every parent deserves the support and stability to make that possible.

Your Colorado Gives Day gift helps make that future real. Together, we can ensure that families in Northern Colorado have the resources, relationships, and opportunities they need to rise.

  • Parents find support, connection, and guidance through culturally responsive family programs.

Testimonials

 "Upon arriving in Fort Collins it was hard to start my life over. TFC/LF has become my family and I will forever be grateful".- Gabriela

"El Nidito provided me and my daughter Sophia with a safe and nurturing environment. I was unemployed and the Childhood Family Specialist assisted me with the Universal Pre-K and the Child Care Assistance program applications. Having access to affordable care allowed me to secure a new job, while my daughter makes new friends and gets ready for Kindergarten!- Maria

“ I love being the bridge for families and sharing stories or photos of their child. In that moment we get to bask in the love we both have for their child.”- Teacher

Giving Activity

Mission

Working alongside diverse families we provide high quality childcare and supportive services, with an emphasis on cultural attunement with the Latinx community.

Background Statement

Since 1995, TFC/LF has provided services and support to Fort Collins families while also working to improve the systems within which families learn, work, live and play. TFC/LF emerged from a coalition of community members concerned about maintaining and enhancing the quality of life for working families. The organization was established as part of Colorado's Family Initiative and is now one of 30 family resource centers in Colorado and the only one in northern Colorado. Bilingual staff work with families to co-create a shared vision based on strengths and assets within each family. Due to the diversity of its staff and intentional practices of being welcoming and inclusive, TFC/LF has emerged as a trusted and reputable organization for and among Hispanic/Latinx and Spanish-speaking community members, in addition to other populations of families who identify as racially and ethnically diverse.
