Sponsor a child’s therapy.  We will apply your contribution confidentially and directly.  Please just state your intent on the donation form. 

Donate your cell phone.  Help to decrease the number of cell phones in landfills as well as garner funds for Kinship House clients simply by bringing your old, tired cell phones to our office.  No need to bring chargers, cords, etc… Your cell phones are sent to Shelter Alliance for recycling.  For more information about Shelter Alliance’s recycling program, visit them at www.shelteralliance.net.  

Give a gift in memory or in honor of someone.  Please consider helping a child by donating in honor of someone you know or knew.  Giving to Kinship House makes a thoughtful birthday or holiday gift.  We, in turn, will note your remembrance as desired in our communications. 

Sponsor a book to be used during a child’s therapy by joining our “A Book for Every Child Campaign.”  Foster Care and Adoption: A Pathway to Understanding is used with children at Kinship House to help them understand the many emotions associated with transitioning from one home to another. 

Corporate Matching Gifts – Does your company or agency offer matching gifts for donations you make?  If so, your donation multiplies in impact.  Check with your human resources department and let us know on your donation form.  What a wonderful way to stretch resources. 

Donate Stock – Kinship House is able to receive stock donations.  Just inform your stock broker of your intent and let us know how you would like us to apply your contribution.  This is another great way to make a significant impact on a meaningful cause! 

Estate and Gift Planning – You may now contribute directly from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or 401K fund without incurring tax penalties.  This greatly increases the impact of your donation!  If you are interested in making this direct donation from your investment account, please discuss it with your estate planner or fund manager and contact Kinship House. 

Donate your car.  Do you have a car sitting in your driveway that gathers dust?  Donate it!  Receive a tax donation receipt and help a child start a new life!  Simply call Volunteers of America (VOA) at 503.239.7944 or use their online donation form at http://www.voaoregoncars.com/donate.php and indicate that you would like Kinship House to benefit from the sale.  VOA will do all the work, including pick up of your vehicle – running or not!  Kinship House receives 50% of final proceeds.
