Feel free to be creative in the varied ways you might give to NAMI CCNS. We encourage you to think outside the box about the ways in which you might generously choose to support our varied work and projects!

What a great way to make a difference for NAMI CCNS:

Do all your online shopping through iGive.com. This site codes your purchases at any of a jillion stores you would shop from anyway. Every time you shop NAMI CCNS will get a percentage. It’s easy.

Be creative! Below are more concepts for helping NAMI CCNS :

1-    Donations IN HONOR or IN MEMORIAM of someone you love – What a beautiful and meaningful way to recognize your connection to someone special.

2-    BIRTHDAY donations to NAMI CCNS in lieu of birthday gifts. Celebrate a birthday, anniversary or special day by asking your friends to make a donation to NAMI CCNS.

3-    “CASH BACK” dollars from your credit cards – If these come to you as an occasional surprise every once in a while, consider passing them along to NAMI CCNS. These “extra” dollars will go such a long way with our education and support programs.

4-    Donations of STOCKS, BONDS and MUTUAL FUNDS – If you have any appreciated securities that you would feel comfortable donating to NAMI CCNS, do so knowing that you will get that critical tax deduction and help others so much.

5-    MATCHING GIFTS – Many employers will match gifts made to 501(c)(3) organizations. Check with your HR department to see if this doubling (or tripling) of your donation is possible.

6-    Endowment Contributions – When you make an endowment contribution, the principal will remain untouched while the earnings will go a long way towards helping NAMI CCNS with its mission.

7-    Having a SPECIAL OCCASION? A gathering of friend or neighbors? Ask one of our talented speakers into your home to talk to your guests about what we do. Be a personal “fund” or “friend raiser” for NAMI CCNS. This can be a moving and poignant experience for you and your guests.

8-    PLANNED GIVING – Including NAMI CCNS in your will or trust means you ensure a gift that will have an enduring impact in the important work we do.

9-    Have your WORKPLACE do a GROUP FUNDRAISER for NAMI CCNS – We can work with your place of business to arrange a rewarding and powerful experience where everyone is a winner. Talk to us about more ideas!

10- OFFICE SPACE – Are you in a position to offer NAMI CCNS a long term Office Space arrangement? Perhaps you want to write-off some extra space you’ve got at your office building? Consider entering into an agreement with us. We certainly need more space to accommodate our growing needs and numbers.
