Help Us Fund the Programs Our Kids Rely On
There are 11 days left in our Donation Drive, and we’ve raised 55% of our $50,000 goal!
If you’ve been planning to give, this may be an especially good year to do so. There may be tax advantages for charitable donations made in 2025 due to the OBBBA that are set to change next year. If you’re considering a gift, please check with your tax professional to see how this could benefit you.
Learn about all the ways to donate on our website. Don’t forget to check on your employer matching programs!
