When you make a gift to CPARC you have many options for making your gift, and you have flexibility in determining where your funds will be used.

Types of Gifts:
We gladly accept gifts of cash, check, or credit card. We also accept gifts of stock, matching donations and in-kind donations. Please visit the planned giving page to learn more about the types of planned gifts we accept.

Annual Giving:
Annual Appeal: Contributions to the annual appeal provide direct support to CPARC’s Advocacy Program. Services are offered at no cost to families in need from Cumberland & Perry Counties. Pledges can be paid annually, quarterly, monthly, bank draft, or payroll deduction.

Securities:
Gifts of Stock: Gifts of stock and securities provide considerable tax advantages when transferred to CPARC before they are sold. If you have held your securities for more than one year, you may find that your gift will provide a twofold tax benefit, creating an income-tax deduction as well as helping avoid the capital-gains tax that would have been due on their sale. Please contact the Development office for brokerage firm information.

Event Sponsorships:
Sponsorships: Sponsorships are available for the many special events held throughout the year. Contact the PR / Development office to discuss how we can tailor a package to fit your company’s needs and objectives.

Restricted Funds:
Endowment Fund: Endowment gifts create a lasting legacy. You may make a permanently restricted gift to CPARC’s endowment fund. Help ensure that The Arc will be there for the next generation of families that need us.

Program Directed: You may direct your gift to a particular program of interest within CPARC. Programs include: Advocacy, Early Education Center of Perry County, Family Education, Life Time Adult Day Care, Neighbors Program, Residential Services, and the S. Wilson Pollock Center for Industrial Training.
