Why Donating to Civitan Foundation, Inc. Makes a Difference

Civitan provides a wide range of services and supports to children and adults with developmental disabilities. The demand for Civitan services grows each year, while the costs of providing these services also continue to rise. As times change with the uncertainty and decrease of government funding, the need for more community support is greater than ever. Your strong partnerships through generous giving will ensure that these much needed services Civitan provides to hundreds of families will continue NOW and INTO THE FUTURE.

Give a matching gift
You can maximize your gift if your company matches employee donations. First, contact your employer to determine if your company matches gifts. Then request a copy of their matching gift program form. Review the program guidelines to see if Civitan Foundation is eligible to receive matching gifts.

Memorials/Honorariums

Your kindness will make two hearts happy: the one you honor and the one your gift serves!

Give a Planned Gift
