If you care enough to donate your time, other people will care enough to donate their treasure.
Time, treasure, and talent
Everybody wants to be involved in a different way, whether it’s by giving their time, treasure, or talent.
A lot of donors tell us they want to have connection throughout the year, not just be asked for money once or twice.
