How to Donate
All online donations are securely collected and managed through Pledge It, our official fundraising and donation platform. FAQ at the bottom of the page.
Double Your Impact with Matching Gifts
Many employers offer matching gift programs that can double—or even triple—your donation at no additional cost to you.
After donating, check with your employer to see if your company participates in a matching gift program. It’s one of the simplest ways to multiply your impact and extend support to more families.
