Gift Fundraisers

Consider hosting a private or corporate event to benefit Gift for a Child. The ways to give are endless and can make a lasting impact on children without families that need academic help, a financial lifeline, recognition of an achievement or birthday memory.

Gift a Difference Party

Teaching a child that it is just as wonderful to give as it is to receive is almost never easy. But once they understand the concept, the rewards can last a lifetime for them and the child they give to. Consider hosting a Gift for a Child charity party. Even if you aren’t a child, it’s a great way to spend time together with friends or family shopping and then wrapping gifts for children in need. By hosting a charity party for needy youth, a sense of giving is instilled in children as well as adults.

Golf for a Child 

Gift for a Child’s first tournament began as fundraiser that included golfers from major corporations across the country.  When we launched this event to help children in need, older foster youth were paired with golf enthusiasts to create a connection and life experience for both the foster youth and the golfer. One of the highlights of the event was the exhibit of children in care waiting to be adopted and a heart wrenching story of hurts and hope from a foster youth (now in college) advocating for other children.

We are planning another event in 2011 and want to talk to golf pros, golf enthusiasts, amateur golfers and anyone that just wants to play to give a gift of financial support to help at risk, homeless and abandoned youth.

Community Service Giving

Many schools encourage their students to get involved in a community service project. Gift for a Child has a number of worthy projects designed for middle school, teen and college students to get involved. These youth can earn service hours by simply being a registration volunteer at an event, putting care packages together for foster youth, helping at a party for children or raising money through one of our fund-raising efforts. It’s up to you...whatever feels comfortable.

Golden Givers

Many seniors and retired individuals have time and skills that would benefit a child in foster care.

Artistic and Photographic Gifts

We’re looking for artistic types like photographers, artists, writers, scrap bookers and others to help us tell the story about children in foster care and those that have transitioned out of foster care. If you are a photographer, videographer or writer, please consider donating your time and experience for youth in care. Give us the gift of your time.

Many of these children find writing about their experiences in foster care therapeutic and healing, or they want to save their few pictures in an album or scrap book. There’s a need for many hands to help the many children.

We have artistic programs called Picture Adoption, Picture Charity, Picture Day and the Heart Gallery Southeast that we’d love to speak with you about.
