Donate through the United Way
Make a donation by participating in a United Way Write-In Campaign. Because of our 501(c)3 status, Gift of Adoption Fund qualifies for the United Way write-in option (also known as the Donors Choose option).
The United Way begins its annual fundraising drive in the fall of each year. The United Way provides a way for many charities to obtain funds by individuals contributing a small portion of their paycheck through payroll deduction. Each United Way chapter lists a variety of local organizations that may be chosen for payroll deductions. Since Gift of Adoption is a national organization, our name is not usually provided on this list of charities. However, the majority of United Way chapters also allow individuals to write in the charity of their choice.
You can initiate a write-in campaign in your workplace by contacting your company's United Way chairperson to ask if there is a write-in option and if so, the possibility of informing the rest of the employees about the Gift of Adoption Fund. Many co-workers may be eager to donate to a cause that is championed by a colleague.
If you would like to post a letter or flyer about Gift of Adoption on an office bulletin board or place a poster in the lunch area that asks your fellow employees to join you in the write-in campaign, please contact us and we will be happy to provide you with appropriate materials.
If your company United Way chairperson has any questions, please call us toll-free at (877) 905.2367 ext. 403.
