Ways To Give
Planned Giving
A planned gift is a generous way to remember The House. Planned gifts are major gifts made in a donor? s lifetime or at death as part of financial or estate planning.
Matching Opportunities
We are grateful for your donations if you would like to get others involved in matching donations to help support a campaign and double or even triple donations. request a matching gift form.
Create Your Own Fund
Establishing a fund that reflects a cause that is important to you and helps children gives you the advantage of an immediate tax deduction and the opportunity for you and other donors to contribute. Funds created have a minimum gift amount.
Payroll Deduction Gifts
A gift through payroll deduction is an easy way to give and one you might not have considered. Generous gifts at any level help children at The House. Many supporters donate $2 a paycheck. For less than a candy bar, that dollar power provided resources for the children to thrive.
