Corporate Matching Programs – You may be able to increase or even double the size of your gift to Trinity Children’s Foundation of America if you work for a company that matches employee charitable donations. Check with your company to see if they have a matching gift program or contact the Children’s Foundation at (800) KIDS-730 to see how you can enlarge your contribution through your company.

Gifts of Securities – Trinity accepts stocks, bonds, and all other securities as donations. In most cases, a gift of appreciated securities entitles you to an income tax charitable deduction of the fair market value of the securities on the effective date of the gift.

Planned Gifts – Consider a future gift. Planned giving is an excellent way to reduce or avoid estate inheritance taxes and help to ensure fulfillment of the Children’s Foundation’s long-term fundraising goals. You may make a planned gift through a variety of vehicles, such as bequests, life insurance policies, individual retirement accounts (IRA’s), and charitable trusts. Please consult your financial or legal advisors when considering these types of gifts.

Legacy Scholarships– Through the Michael A. Alexander Memorial Scholarship Fund, the John Apostle Scholarship Fund and our other legacy scholarship funds, we are able to help underwrite the college and vocational education of Trinity campus residents and foster children. Trinity CFA created the first legacy fund in January of 2004, when Michael Alexander, the longtime president of our board and great benefactor of children and families in need, passed away. Contact the Foundation at (800) KIDS-730 for more information on establishing a legacy scholarship in honor of a loved one, family member, business or organization.

Holiday Heroes – Every year Trinity shelters and cares for more and more children in crisis. These children have often suffered neglect, abandonment, and abuse, and many have missed out on most of childhood’s joys. Our Holiday Heroes Gift Drive provides that missing excitement and fun during the holiday season. Every child lists three wishes for Christmas gifts. Trinity’s Foundation and program directors and the Children’s Foundation of America Network (C-FANs) then reach out to their local communities through gift drives, collections, and parties to grant the wishes. Each Trinity local office or campus holds a holiday celebration and gives out all the presents collected during the holiday drives, ensuring that the spirit of the season is felt by every child.

Volunteering
Every day, volunteers for Trinity Children's Foundation of America are making a profound difference in the lives of children in need. Throughout the years, the Children’s Foundation primary mission has been to heal the wounds of abused, neglected and abandoned children, enabling a successful return to family and society. Volunteers play a vital role in fulfilling this mission by assisting with events, like birthday and holiday parties, helping with fundraising activities, and providing other forms of support. The benefits and rewards of helping children in crisis are many: 

• Sharing your talent, skills, and friendship with those in need feels great
• Changing a child’s life for the better instills pride and hope
• Giving back makes the whole community stronger
• Helping children can open a door to a career in education or social services
• Working with others on a positive and important activity can create valuable relationships
