Monthly Giving

Stock Donation

If you’re looking for a tax-smart way to leave your legacy, consider a gift of stock. When you give appreciated stock that you’ve owned for more than one year, you can avoid capital gains tax and receive a charitable income tax deduction when you itemize. To make a gift of stock directly to Children Rising, email chelsea@children-rising.org for our brokerage account information.

Personal Fundraiser on Facebook

Many people like to share their passion for the kids with family and friends. Peer-to-peer fundraising on Facebook is a simple way for you to support Children Rising while celebrating a milestone like your birthday. It’s also a fantastic opportunity for you to share with your family and friends why the kids in your community are so important to you. And Facebook makes it super easy!
