WAYS TO GIVE

Guardian Angel Society

Did you know $1,000 can provide a year of services for a child victimized by abuse in your community? Guardian Angels are supporters who commit to a minimum $5,000 gift over five years to provide services to an abused child. By becoming a Guardian Angel, you become a partner with the Center. Your gift may be paid monthly, annually, or every five years.

In recognition of your commitment, and after your initial gift, your name will appear alongside other dedicated supporters on our Guardian Angel Society recognition wall inside the Center lobby. You also will receive personalized communications, exclusive access to volunteer opportunities, and regular invitations to special events including the annual Guardian Angel stewardship reception.

For questions or to pledge a 5-year gift larger than $5,000, please contact Maria Strong, Donor Relations Manager, at 972.633.6628.

Payment options:

• One single payment of $5,000
• Annual installments of $1,000 for five years
• Quarterly installment of $250 for five years
• Monthly installments of $83.33 for five years

Many employers and organizations sponsor matching gift programs where the company will match any charitable contribution(s) made by their employee with a designated amount. The benefit of a matching gift is that it can often double or triple your impact on the children served by Children’s Advocacy Center of Collin County.

To find out if your company is eligible, contact your employer’s finance or human resources department. If a matching gift program is offered, submit a request to your employer that it be sent along with your gift. We will manage the rest! For questions related to matching fits, please contact Bobbie Pierri, Donor Services Manager at bpierri@caccollincounty.org.

Gifts of appreciated securities may offer more significant tax benefits than cash gifts. To have shares transferred to the Center, consult your broker/agent, security issuing agent or Center staff for instructions.

The Center considers contributions of various types of real estate, including undeveloped land, farms, commercial buildings, vacation homes, or residences. The tax benefits for capital gain properties may be more significant than cash gifts. Please consult with your tax advisor to learn more about donations of real estate or contact the Center for additional information.

Bequests offer a way to leave a legacy after your lifetime. You may also establish a trust or annuity which can provide income to you or a loved one while also benefiting the Center.
