You can help in so many ways!

As Gads Hill Center approaches its 113th year anniversary, many reflect on the continuous services and the great sense of stability the agency has provided the residents in the communities we serve. Although we receive financial support through state and local agencies, individual giving is paramount to our providing a continuum of programs and services to youth, adults, families, and senior citizens.

There are many different ways to contribute:

  • Cash Gift(s) – For your convenience you may now contribute on our website!  Just access our homepage at www.gadshillcenter.org and click on the ‘Donate Now’ link.
  • Pledge – Pledge any amount on any schedule;
  • Stocks and Bonds – By contributing stock you can deduct the current value of the stock and avoid the tax on the gain;
  • Memorial/Honorarium – Honor someone living or deceased, or celebrate a birth, wedding, or graduation with a gift to the agency;
  • Employee Matching Plans – Have your employer match or double your contribution;
  • Planned Gift – Designate Gads Hill as a recipient of part or all of your estate through planned giving vehicles like Life Estate Contracts, Charitable Gift Annuities, Charitable Trusts, Charitable Reminder Trusts, Bequests, Life Insurance Policies, and others like Retirement Plans and IRAs, Keoghs, and Pension Plans. For more information;
  • Endowment Giving – A gift that keeps on giving. Here the agency receives interest payments and the principal gift is invested according to board guidelines;
  • Real Estate – Donations of real estate through a charitable remainder trust often reduce taxes and provide income tax reductions; and,
  • In – Kind Services – Tangible personal property that can include donated printing, material, and professional services.
  • To view examples of in-kind gifts, visit our In-Kind Donations page.

    Funds donated to Gads Hill are professionally managed and carefully allocated.  No matter what size your gift might be, every contribution is important.  If you have any questions or would like more information regarding any of the above vehicles for giving, please call Denise Stennis, our Chief Development Officer, at (312) 226-0963, ext. 293 or email her at dstennis@gadshillcenter.org.
