 Donate Stock

If you own shares of a stock, mutual fund, or other type of security, you can donate all or some of those shares to The Dick Howser Center. The sale of your securities qualifies as a tax-exempt donation.

 Planned Gifts

We can accept gifts and bequests from your estate. We recommend you have your attorney or estate planner call us in advance to make sure any special requests you may have as to the use of the funds can be accommodated.

 In-Kind Donations

Being a non-profit agency, we rely heavily upon the good will and donations of others to assist us in providing high quality services our children deserve. We are looking for businesses or individuals who would be willing to “adopt” one of our classrooms or playgrounds. Our classrooms are divided by ages ranging from babies toddlers to preschoolers. We are seeking donations such as books, toys, art supplies, balls, bicycles, sand toys, etc. Each classroom has come up with a specific “wish” list of items we desperately need. 

 If you are able to adopt a classroom or playground, we would love to put a plaque in the classroom to thank you for your help. And, with you permission, we would like to list you or your business as a sponsor in Dick Howser’s advertisements and literature. Receipts will be given upon request if needed for tax purposes.

 The Dick Howser Center for Childhood Services, Inc. is registered with the Internal  Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Some or all of the value of your financial contribution may be tax deductible.
