Donations of cash, goods and services are always needed at The Parenting Center. Our programs depend on the generosity of our donors to continue to provide families the tools to succeed. The Parenting Center is a 501(c)(3) and most donations are tax deductible. Acknowledgement letters are sent in response to all donations.

Cash donations can be made for a specific purpose or for general program operations. To make a cash donation, fill in the reply form, print it, and mail it to the address shown.

Gifts in-kind are needed for several reasons:

• to assist with the annual golf tournament, a fund raiser that helps support
  the important programs of the agency. Items needed are beverages, snacks,
  coupons or small items for player goodie bags, silent auction items, raffle prizes
  and door prizes.

• assistance to clients - diapers, formula, bottles, baby wipes, new or gently
  used baby clothing, personal hygiene items for adults and children, new,
  unwrapped toys for the holidays for children of all ages, gift cards to discount
  stores and gift certificates for movies and restaurants.
 
• office supplies and equipment help reduce costs
 
Donated services can help reduce costs for maintenance, staff training, printing and design services, legal and financial services, and other professional services.

Endowment gifts help create investments from which the earnings will support the agency for many years in the future. These gifts can be made with cash or securities.

Planned giving There is no finer legacy than to be remembered as helping other families who are less fortunate. A variety of options through estate plans, wills or annuities are available, some of which can reduce taxes.

For more information about including The Parenting Center in your planned giving, contact your tax advisor or the agency Executive Director, Barbara Lamsens.
