There are many ways in which you can support ChildSavers. For example, you can give online through our secure credit card processing system. ChildSavers is a 501(c)3 organization; your donations are therefore tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Please see below for examples of what your donation might buy.

Also, please see the NAP page for information on how your gift could entitle you to state income tax credits!

If your employer is a United Way participating agency, consider giving through payroll deductions. Participating agencies include federal, state, and local government entities. Our United Way codes are as follows (please note that we may be listed under our former/legal name, Memorial Child Guidance Clinic):

• Combined Federal Campaign - 90122
• Commonwealth of Virginia Campaign - 3571
• Local Government and Schools - 7337

Consider making a gift in honor or in memory of someone special to you. It's a great way to show them you care while helping ensure that Central Virginia's children have the best chance to grow into strong, healthy adults. Or consider asking others to make gifts in your honor. (Click here to read about our good friend Jim Nolan, who served on our Board of Directors for many years until he passed away in December 2008, and who generously requested that friends make gifts to ChildSavers in his memory.)

You may choose to give us items from our wish list, and or to donate the precious gift of your time by becoming a ChildSavers volunteer.

ChildSavers has many events that are fun for the whole family. You can come to these events and particpate for a good cause. You may also choose to attend a Lunchtime @ ChildSavers in order to find out more about who we are and why our work is so important.

ChildSavers is a firm believer in being a good steward of the trust the community puts in us. To see how we have spent money in the past, please look at our annual report on the publications page.
