Ways to Give
Every child deserves a safe, stable place to call home. We are grateful for your generous contribution, which enables us to serve thousands of children and parents facing housing instability and homelessness, empowering them to create lasting, healthy futures for their families.
There are many ways to give. We welcome you to make a one-time gift online or by check, become a monthly donor, recommend a grant from your donor-advised fund or consider a legacy gift.
Make a Gift
Your gift provides immediate support for children and parents facing housing instability and homelessness. Each donation helps families access the homelessness prevention, temporary housing and wraparound support services they need to achieve lasting stability.
Donor-Advised Funds
Supporting FamilyAid through your donor-advised fund (DAF) is a simple, fast and efficient way to make a charitable impact. If you have a DAF with a sponsoring organization, you can recommend a grant to help children and parents build stronger, more stable futures.
If you have specific questions about giving through a DAF, please contact us.
Gift of Securities
Donating appreciated securities is a meaningful way to support FamilyAid while potentially receiving valuable tax benefits. Many donors avoid capital gains taxes while claiming a charitable deduction (subject to IRS guidelines).
Electronic transfers are the fastest way to complete your gift. Please use the brokerage information below and notify the advancement office before initiating your transfer so we can properly identify and acknowledge your generosity.
Give Monthly

Whether it’s a birthday present, an appreciation gift or a memorial donation, you can make a difference in the lives of many while showing your love and gratitude towards people important to you. We are happy to notify the individual or their family of your thoughtful gift.
Matching Gifts
Many employers match charitable donations made by their employees, doubling—or even tripling—the impact of your gift.
Check with your employer to see if your company offers a matching gift program. If they do, we’ll gladly provide any information needed to complete the process.
Planned Giving
Create a lasting legacy for future generations by including FamilyAid in your estate plans.
Planned gifts made through your will, trust, retirement account, life insurance policy or charitable gift annuity ensure children and parents continue to receive the support they need to leave homelessness behind. We’re happy to partner with you and your professional advisors to explore the giving option best suited to your goals and situation.
Please contact Chief Advancement Officer Alicia Ianiere for information about planned gifts.
