There are many ways that you can support the Holy Cross Children's Services mission. Some of these ways are listed below. If you would like more information, please contact our Mission Advancement Office at (517) 423-7553 or (517) 423-7277s or e-mail us at development@hccsnet.org.

Cash Gifts:
Your generous cash gift can take the form of a single donation or a pledge of funds over a multi-year period of up to five years.

While you should consult your own tax advisor, generally if you itemize deductions on your Federal tax returns, you may be eligible to deduct a cash gift or the cash portion of a pledged donation from your adjustable gross income in the year the donation is made.
There are several ways to make a cash or pledge donation to support our mission:

• Make a donation through the security of PayPal. You do not need a PayPal account to donate, just click the Donate button at the top of this page.
• Make a donation by mailing a check to Holy Cross Children’s Services, Mission Advancement Office, 8759 Clinton-Macon Rd., Clinton, MI  49236.
• For other forms of donation, contact our Mission Advancement Office.

Gift of Securities:
If you choose to donate stock, bonds or other securities, you may qualify for an income tax deduction at the time the securities are transferred to Holy Cross Children’s Services, as well as avoid long-term capital gains on the appreciated value of the donated securities.  Before undertaking any gift of securities to Holy Cross Children’s Services, you should consult your tax advisor in order to determine if your specific situation qualifies you for such tax treatment.
To make a donation of securities, please contact our Mission Advancement Office.

Charitable Gift Annuity:
A Charitable Gift Annuity (“CGA”) contract enables a donor to make a gift of cash, marketable securities or other assets that will generate an immediate income tax deduction plus provide an annuitized stream of income to the donor for life.   Returns to donors are based upon rates published and approved by the American Council on Gift Annuities, which are subject to change.
Please consult your financial and/or tax advisor prior to making a CGA or any other form of planned gift.  For assistance in setting up a CGA to benefit Holy Cross Children’s Service or to receive a customized, confidential illustration, please contact our Mission Advancement Office.

Other Forms of Planned Giving:
In addition to a CGA, you can assist Holy Cross Children’s Services through a number of different forms, each of which can constitute a “legacy” gift.  These include designating us in your Will, Estate Plan or Life Insurance Policy, donating real estate, other hard assets or closely-held stock or one of many additional types of annuity contracts. Please consult your financial and/or tax advisor prior to making any such commitment.  For assistance in evaluating your various planned legacy options, contact our Mission Advancement Office for assistance.

Matching Gifts:
Many corporations match the gifts their employees make to charitable organizations.  Check with your employer to see if they have a matching gift program in place, and if so, please send us their matching gift form or fill in the relevant information when clicking on the Donate link noted above.
All donations made to Holy Cross Children’s Services can be designated to support general operations or specific programs or activities.   HCCS is classified by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
