Ways to Give

Gifts of Stock

A gift of long-term appreciated stock to support St. Francis Children’s Center may provide you with greater tax advantages than a gift of cash as it can generate a two-fold tax savings. First, you avoid paying any capital gains tax on the increase in value of the stock. Second, you receive an income tax charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the stock at the time of the gift.

Employer Matching Gifts

If your employer has a matching gift program you may be able to increase the value of your contribution to St. Francis Children’s Center. Check with your Human Resources department to inquire if your company has a matching gift program to maximize your donation!

In-Kind Donations

St. Francis Children’s Center is always in need of new educational toys and books for children ages 4 weeks to Kindergarten. You can drop off these items anytime at our front reception desk.

Memorials and Tributes

We welcome donations to St. Francis Children’s Center in honor or in memory of a friend or loved one. These types of gifts are a thoughtful way to thank a friend, to recognize an important birthday or anniversary or to remember someone who is no longer with us. You will receive an acknowledgement of your gift and a letter will be mailed to the family of the person you are honoring. Please make sure to indicate the name of the person you want the memorial or tribute directed to.

Thank you for your support!
