Donate--year-end matching grant

Your Year-end Donation Can Be Worth Double!

As the end of the year approaches, the holidays are a time when many open their hearts and their pocketbooks to charities across the country as a way to help others.

The Compassionate Friends Board of Directors is kicking off its holiday appeal through a special donation to create a Matching Challenge Grant of $30,000. Every board member has contributed to the Challenge Grant and we are appealing to you for your support so we can double this Matching Challenge Grant and go into the new year with the funds necessary to support the many programs provided nationally by the organization.

The Compassionate Friends exists thanks to the generosity of many wonderful people who either have been helped by TCF during their difficult grief journey following the death of a child, or are friends, relatives, or business acquaintances seeking to support them. Without this generosity, The Compassionate Friends could not be here for those who today do not know they will need us tomorrow.

You can donate now online and under the "comments" section, write "Matching Challenge Grant."

You can also download a donation form and mail it to the National Office or fax it to 630-990-0246.

We invite you to see how your donation is used by The Compassionate Friends and how we have been able to receive the seal of excellence from Independent Charities of America, as well as being recognized as meeting the rigorous standards applied by the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance.

We thank you for your consideration. Every donation we receive is used with great care so you can feel confident that every dollar is used to support our mission of assisting families in their natural grief journey following the death of a child. All donations are tax deductible.
