PHYSF strives to be a responsible steward of its donor’s funds.  For that reason, nearly every cost incurred by PHYSF, from post office box fees, to copying costs, to web hosting fees and everything in between, is either received as an in-kind donation or is specifically underwritten by one of our generous donors.  Our board and staff all volunteer their time.  This means that almost every dollar we receive, unless the donor requests otherwise, funds our scholarships.

We are funded in four ways:

1. By individual donors.  Donors like you provide much of the money that funds our scholarships.  Please consider donating today by mailing a check made to PHYSF to: PFLAG/HATCH Youth Scholarship Foundation, P.O. Box 667010, Houston, Texas 77266..  Donors like you provide much of the money that funds our scholarships.  Please consider donating today by mailing a check made to PHYSF to: PFLAG/HATCH Youth Scholarship Foundation, P.O.
