Give
BlueSkies for Children is committed to building an inclusive and diverse community, and a crucial part of that commitment continues to be a community with socioeconomic diversity. One of the most important strategies to foster that diversity is our ability to offer reduced tuition to families that qualify, and we are able to do that exclusively through our various fundraising efforts.
Ways to Give
Planned Giving: We offer plans at varying levels for monthly or annual giving. Set up is a breeze and once you have entered your information the donation occurs automatically on your schedule until you change it.
Matching Gifts: We can help you identify if your company will match a donation or offers donations on behalf of employees. If you already know your company offers this, get in touch with your HR department to determine next steps!
Legacy: Your gift can support generations to come if you choose to list BlueSkies as a beneficiary of your will or living trust. You may choose to give a percentage or a specific amount. Alternatively, you can make BlueSkies for Children a “contingent” beneficiary. You will maintain control of your assets and can make changes at any time.
Why Donate?
We believe that all children deserve high quality care. Research shows that children who participate in a quality preschool program are more likely to succeed in school and in life than their peers who do not.
Your gift will allow BlueSkies to welcome all children regardless of socio-economic background and offer them the opportunity to thrive in a loving, nurturing environment with developmentally appropriate programs. From $50 providing one musical enrichment session to $10,000 or more providing annual scholarship support to a deserving family, each gift makes a tremendous difference!
