Feeling inspired by the holidays and looking for ways to give back? Your gift has special meaning to children and families this time of year, and there are more ways than ever to lend your support. Here are five ways to give this holiday season:
1. Drive the Cradle’s mission forward with a donation
This may go without saying, but the most direct way to support The Cradle and our programs is to donate. You can make a one-time or recurring gift any way you like — online, by check, through a donor-advised fund and more. Click here to learn more and make a gift.
2. Make the holidays magical for children through our Holiday Gift Program
Want to make a gift that goes directly to families this holiday season? All donations to our Holiday Gift Program go toward Target gift cards that we will send to Cradle birth families. Parents use these cards to buy winter essentials like coats and snow boots, as well as holiday presents like books, toys and craft supplies for their children. This year’s Holiday Gift Program has ended. Look out for an announcement about next year’s drive.
3. Boost your impact with a peer-to-peer fundraiser
A peer-to-peer fundraiser is a great way to spread the word and maximize your impact. Create a campaign page, share your story, and rally your friends and family to support The Cradle! Click here for help getting started.
4. Keep our Nursery fully stocked with essential supplies
You can give a gift directly to Cradle babies this holiday season. Browse our Amazon wishlist and help keep our Nursery stocked with much-needed items like diapers, rash cream and shampoo.
5. Immortalize your gift with a commemorative brick
Create a lasting, one-of-a-kind gift by purchasing a custom-engraved, commemorative brick that will be displayed permanently in the walkway outside our building. Click here for more details.
