Checks
may be made payable to "The Children's
Home". The Children's Home is a 501(c)3
nonprofit organization and all gifts are
tax deductible.
A special thank you to our major
donors during
this past year!
Where
Does My Contribution Go? The Children's
Home hosts many underfunded or non-funded
activities that go beyond what is required
by agencies that refer children into our
care. These include summer education and
worker preparation projects, religious
education, summer camps, field trips, cultural
events, recreational activities, and social
and life skills activities. Moreover, private
funding insures both the future and character
of The Children's Home and to provide the
finest facilities, equipment and opportunities
for our kids. Your support keeps the "Home" in
The Children's Home!
How
Can I Help? The Children's Home accepts
gifts of cash, securities and tangible
items that can be used in the service of
helping children. In addition, The Children's
Home will accept automobiles, real estate
or other tangible items provided they may
be of use to the Home or can be liquidated.
Where
is the Greatest Need? The Finance Committee
of the Board of Directors places the following
priorities on giving:
-
Unrestricted gifts of cash, securities
or items which can be used to supplement
programs or operations or which can be
liquidated to provide funds for operations
or other needs.
-
Restricted gifts in support of Summer
Education, the Summer Jobs Project and
other under-funded activities at The Children's
Home.
-
Gifts toward the Endowment Fund. This
is a wonderful opportunity to take advantage
of tax savings possible through sound planned
giving practices. The Children's Home Development
Office has trusted experts available to
work with you and your financial planners
if so desired.
