Gifts of Love

The following are some ways that you can contribute to the ongoing work, program development, growth and expansion of Bethany Christian Services. Your gifts to Bethany are tax deductible and will support the Bethany office nearest to you!


United Way Designation - Designating donations through the United Way - simply write in Bethany Christian Services when completing your United Way Donor Option Form.

Matching Gift Programs - Ask if your company has a Matching Gift Form, complete it, and send it along with your gift to Bethany. We will do the rest.

Serve Program or Volunteer Program - Some companies will give dollars for every hour of volunteer work you do in your community. Check it out with your employer.

Employee’s Favorite Charity – There are companies who ask their employees to submit their favorite charity to be considered for a special gift. Please ask and remember Bethany Christian Services.

Combined Federal Campaign – Bethany is listed in the Federal Employee donation drive called the Combined Federal Campaign (CRC). Look for Bethany’s name in the ICA section of the CFC literature.

Donating personal property are gifts that are not financial in nature and vary in size and value, new and used, from baby items like disposable diapers, to motor vehicles, property or real estate. Not only will your donation help serve children and families, but you may receive significant tax benefits as well.

Some of these children are in orphanages, some in foster care and others live in their own families but need financial support to remain there. You can choose a child from the following countries: Guatemala, China, Korea, Ukraine Albania and Romania. You will receive a photo and written updates on your child’s progress as well as “Making a Connection” newsletter. Your pledge will help meet the needs of the child you sponsor.
