Gateway Combined Federal Campaign
Federal employees can designate Voices for charitable giving!
Designate agency #68728. Federal employees' charitable giving through the Gateway Combined Federal Campaign supports Voices’ advocacy.
Stocks and Bonds
Gifts of appreciated stock and bonds you have owned more than one year can be one of the most advantageous ways of giving. In addition to a charitable tax deduction for your donation, you can save on the capital gains tax you would owe if you sold the securities yourself. Securities may be donated by transferring them directly into the account of Voices for Children.
Leave a Legacy
Make a lasting gift of hope by remembering Voices in your will. Any asset can be included in a bequest to ensure that your estate will help support a cause that is consistent with your beliefs and values. Making a bequest reduces estate taxes, eliminates capital gains taxes and provides a voice for children in foster care for years to come.
Sponsorships
Each year, Voices holds a variety of events with sponsorship opportunities that contribute directly to our mission. Companies and organizations that sponsor our events benefit from increased visibility as they give back to the community.
Some events are focused on recruiting and retaining dedicated CASA advocates. Other events are targeted at friend and fundraising. For example, Friends of Voices' events focus on building awareness for our work and engaging young people to give back by getting engaged in volunteerism and philanthropy.
Attend an Event
Attending one of our events is a great way to support our work while doing something you enjoy. Bringing people with you to introduce them to our work is even better.
In-Kind Donations
A gift of hope can take many forms including resources and services that we use in our work advocating for kids.
