Other Ways To Give Today

MEMORIAL GIFTS

Remember a beloved friend or loved one by donating to SAYS in their memory. With your contribution, we’ll mail a personalized letter to whomever you designate, revealing your thoughtful gift in memory of their loved one.

SPECIAL OCCASION GIFTS

If you are looking for an alternative to traditional gift giving to recognize special occasions, consider making a donation to SAYS in the name of your person of honor.

UNITED WAY

If your employer allows for payroll deducted donations to United Way, you can select SAYS to be a recipient of your United Way designations. Contact your employee benefits or payroll department to find out if your employer is one of many that provide this service to their employees. Some employers even match employee contributions!

CORPORATE MATCH

Your donation to SAYS works twice as hard when your company offers a matching gift program. If your employer does have a qualifying program, simply request a matching gift form to double your donation!
