Ways to Give
Donate TODAY to help friends and family in your community when they need the care the most! Unrestricted gifts are impactful and can be made in any of the following ways. You may also direct your gift to any of the restricted funds listed under the Programs tab.
UNRESTRICTED GIVING
Monetary & Recurring Gifts
Cash or online donations immediately improve the lives of friends, family
and neighbors in our community and throughout our region. Recurring gifts
also help by saving staff time and allow us to anticipate our areas of
greatest need throughout the year.
Honor & Memorial Giving
Honorariums are a great way to pay tribute to someone special. You can
acknowledge their courage, celebrate a birthday, or an important milestone.
Memorials can help celebrate the wonderful memory of a loved one. A personalized
notification of your gift is sent to all the respective parties and gift
amounts are not shared.
Annual Giving
Giving to the annual campaign strengthens and sustains our programs. These
unrestricted gifts provide the resources needed to undertake new initiatives
and maintain our existing programs.
Matching Gifts
Many companies offer matching gift programs to encourage employees to contribute
to charitable organizations like ours. Most of these programs match contributions
dollar for dollar and some will even double or triple the amount of your gift!
