An Interview With the Center for Family Representation's John Linder

FS: How does the organization fund its mission?
JL: CFR has two large contracts with New York City, one in Manhattan and one in Queens, which cover the bulk of our direct services to families. Because our team-based model is not fully supported by the city contracts — yet it is this unique model that gives us dramatic results — we raise about 25 percent of our funds from competitive corporate, foundation and government grants, as well as from individuals and an annual gala.
