How To Support Us

Donate Funds:

  • Make a recurring donation (see our new $25 Saves Lives program).
  • Make a one-time donation
  • Donate online or by check.
  • Make a planned gift by including us in your will, insurance plan, annuity or other legacy.  For more information, see your financial planner.
  • Ask your friends to forego traditional wedding, birthday or anniversary gifts and instead ask them to make a gift to Next Door in your name.

Strengthen your donation with matching funds by:

  • Checking with your workplace to see if they offer a matching gifts program.
  • Asking your friends and family to match your gift.
