Treehouse Receives $300,000 Donation from KeyBank

SEATTLE, WA / ACCESSWIRE / November 10, 2022 / KeyBank has announced a $300,000 donation to Treehouse, an organization devoted to helping provide kids in foster care with the support they need to pursue their dreams and launch successfully into independence. The organization fulfills its mission through a combination of programs that meet basic material needs, provide access to extracurricular and school activities and provide individualized academic coaching, advocacy and mentorship.

KeyBank's grant will directly support Treehouse's Young Adult Services program, which provides youth who have experienced foster care with coaching and mentoring as they transition into adulthood. Over the next three years, Treehouse will be transforming the program to better meet the needs of participants by creating three distinct yet integrated areas of coach specialization: education pathways, career pathways and life skills, with participants empowered to opt into whatever coaching is right for them. In addition, they will have a focus on financial literacy through the Change Machine financial empowerment model that allows coaches to support participants in overcoming financial barriers to independence.

"For many years KeyBank has been an avid champion of Treehouse's proven model, and we are delighted to dramatically accelerate our support with this new grant," said Matt Hill, President and Commercial Banking Sales Leader - Seattle Cascades for KeyBank. "This gift combines two of our core values - a commitment to philanthropy and financial wellness. Helping underserved youth realize their full potential is critical to their success and instrumental in building and maintaining a vibrant economy."

"We are thankful for KeyBank's strong support of Treehouse and our growing Young Adult Services program," said Lisa Chin, CEO of Treehouse. "The model we are creating will demonstrate what's possible when youth transitioning from foster care receive the resources, mentorship and interventions they need, co-designed with their input. KeyBank's investment is invaluable to the evolution of this program and our ability to serve even more young people."
