How You Can Help

Give a gift of cash. Strong financial support is critical to The Cooke Center's success. Your gift will ensure that The Cooke Center's programs can continue for all children who need them.

Give an honorary or memorial gift. You can honor the memory of a loved one or commemorate an anniversary, wedding, or other special event by giving through Cooke's Tribute Gift program. The Cooke Center will send an attractive gift card in your name.

Participate in workplace giving. Find out through your employer whether The Cooke Center is eligible for a matching gift or whether you can designate the gift you make through a federated workplace campaign to The Cooke Center. Inquire about internship and employment opportunities for older students in the Bridge Project.

In your planned giving, think about The Cooke Center. Give a gift of securities, make a bequest to The Cooke Center through your will or living trust, or make a gift of life insurance or retirement fund assets.

Contribute to the Cooke Center Endowment Fund. The uncertainty associated with yearly fundraising led the board of directors to establish an endowment fund, the income from which helps to close the gap between our tuition and the actual costs of providing our services to the children who need them most.

Volunteer your time and talent. If you have a particular area of you'd like to share on behalf of The Cooke Center, please give our office a call.

Support the Cooke Center's philosophy of inclusion for individuals with disabilities. When everyone is included, we all learn more. Let your children's schools and local business community know that you support full educational and employment opportunities for all members of society.
