Why give to FCA?
|
Giving to FCA lets you have a direct impact on people right here in our own community. As of August 2008, more than 90 cents of every dollar donated to FCA went directly into the programs that help individuals and families face and overcome some of life's toughest challenges.
There are many ways to make a meaningful gift that will help FCA continue the work we do to strengthen the community. All donations are tax-deductible.

Honor Gifts
Recognize someone special with a donation to FCA. Memorials, birthdays (adult or child), adoptions, weddings, anniversaries, or "just because"... For $50 per name, FCA will send a beautiful original card to your honoree letting them know a gift was made in their honor. Download the attached Honor Gift Form.
Foundation and Corporate Giving
Many of FCA's programs are offered free to participants and are not supported by State funds, making grants from private foundations and corporations critical. Let us provide your foundation or company with information on programs for children, adults or the elderly that match your guidelines and objectives.

Many families served by FCA need the very basics to get by, such as diapers, furniture, and clothing. Please call us at 203.855.8765 to learn what's needed.
