Ways to Give

Annual Gift: A gift to Hearth's annual fund supports essential general operating expenses for special program initiatives and organizational infrastructure.

Bequest: Leave a legacy. A gift may be made assigning Hearth as a beneficiary of your estate.

Employee Matching Gift: Your corporation may match a gift made by you. Check with your employer to see if charitable contributions are matched and double your gift!

In-Kind Donations: Non-perishable foods, donated printing services, event space, catering, flowers, and new warm winter jackets are all valuable in-kind donations. You can also donate your experise! We welcome advice and help in many areas, such as marketing, advocacy, and event-planning.
