Give Today

Every child and family deserves the chance to grow and thrive!

UNRESTRICTED GIVING

Unrestricted gifts allow us to be agile and responsive, supporting the greatest current need. Whether it’s keeping the lights on, paying teachers or providing materials for parent support workshops, unrestricted gifts are essential to our success!

  • I prefer to mail a check or speak with someone

    • You can mail a check made payable to Pathways for Children to 29 Emerson Ave, Gloucester, MA 01930 attn: Development or call 978-515-5420

  • My employer doubles my impact by matching my giving!

    • That is terrific! Please follow your employer’s preferred process for giving; Pathways provides a receipt for all charitable contributions


HONOR/TRIBUTE/MEMORIAL GIFTS

Consider thanking those who have had a profound influence on you with a gift to Pathways in the name/honor of a teacher, parent, or friend. 

Honor gifts are a profoundly meaningful way to say “thank you” and extend that positive influence to others. We can can send a card to the honoree or their family announcing your gift if you like. Make your gift online (include details in the notes section) or please call 978-515-5420.


CUSTOM GIVING

Your giving is personal, and we welcome the opportunity to work with you to design a support path that meets your philanthropic goals and our needs. 

Whether a special purpose gift for a designated program or a multi-year commitment, we look forward to discussing your strategic giving with you. 

Please contact Laura O’Neill, Director of Development, at 978-515-5319 or loneill@pw4c.org.


Qualified Charitable Distributions

A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) can provide significant support for Pathways and, potentially, a significant tax break for you. If you are required to take a minimum distribution from your IRA, a QCD can be counted towards that goal, yet is deducted from your taxable income. Please contact the holder of your IRA for details.


CORPORATE AND FOUNDATION GIVING

Corporate and Foundation gifts and grants allow Pathways to pursue opportunities we might not otherwise realize! The breadth of our existing programs and services and vision for the future means we can craft a gift opportunity that aligns with your strategic objectives. 

We welcome the chance to learn more about your giving goals. Contact Grants Officer Kerry Fitzgerald at kfitzgerald@pw4c.org or 978-515-5393.


EVENT SUPPORT

Come celebrate with us and make a difference in the life of a child! Whether through sponsorship, tickets purchased or auction items donated, Pathways events are a fun and fabulous way to strengthen our community. Please see our future events below to learn more!


DONATIONS OF GOODS

We periodically need support through the donation of new, unused clothing, books, toys and more. Drop off must be arranged in advance.
