Small Gifts, Big Impact
Dr. Mary Sarvis was a psychoanalyst who believed that small acts of generosity can make a big difference in a child’s life.
Bus tickets, a dance class, eye glasses, summer camps, school supplies, a sewing machine… these things may not seem significant. But to a disadvantaged child or a family, these gifts can mean the difference between despair and hope. Dr. Sarvis’ work emphasized the importance of the seemingly insignificant needs of disadvantaged children that often go unmet.
MSMF is a board of volunteers who work to further Dr. Sarvis’ legacy. We meet the small needs of Bay Area children with grants up to $400 – supporting the social workers, teachers, therapists, and youth counselors with funding for those things that make a difference. Small gifts that have a big impact.
