Donations

Donations are the lifeblood of New Hope Center. Translated into services and support, the funds we raise help persons with developmental disabilities to become more independent, gain authority over their own lives, and ultimately improve their quality of life.  We rely on contributions to aid our efforts to enhance the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities.

You might consider making a planned gift, such as naming New Hope Center as beneficiary of an insurance policy, IRA, retirement plan or charitable remainder trust.  These types of gifts can provide tax savings to you and your heirs. Also, keep New Hope in mind when updating your Will/Living Trust.  You should contact your tax advisor to learn best how to maximize your tax-deductible contribution.

We will be happy to take in-kind donations such as cell phones, used printer cartridges, old magazines and clothing items. In addition to deducting these donated items from your taxes, you’ll be cleaning up your house/garage. Speaking of garages, we’ll gladly take running cars and boats off your hands as well!  You can view our "wishlist" of greatest in-kind needs by clicking here.
