Other Ways To Help

1. Volunteer at The Center. Join our dynamic corps of more than 300 volunteers!! Visit our Volunteer Resources page and get started today!

2. Gifts of In-Kind services or products. In-Kind gifts are gifts of goods or services. You can support The Center by providing professional services (e.g., printing, catering, floral arranging, etc.) or by donating goods we might otherwise pay for (e.g., food items for small fund raising events, silent auction items for fund raising events, small gift certificates for volunteer recognition and appreciation events, etc.) For more information on in-kind gifts and giving, please contact Ken St. Pierre, Development Manager, at 619.692.2077, ext.104 or email ken@thecentersd.org.

3. Encourage each of the organizations you participate in to get involved with The Center and the GLBT community. Encourage your church, your parish, your synagogue , or your mosque to get involved. The GLBT community needs the involvement of the faith communities! Ask your local PTA organizations to get involved in The Center's Hillcrest Youth Center. Suggest that your athletic team or organization host a small benefit game or competition.

4. Encourage your employer to get involved. Even a small event sponsorship or silent auction item can make a huge difference! Many larger companies have corporate giving programs that are very responsive to employees and/or employee groups. Let your employer know you would like them to provide support to The Center!

5. Matching Gifts. Many companies have programs that match the charitable contributions made by their employees . Through corporate matching, employees can double the impact of their gifts! Ask your employer about their matching gift policy and procedure.

6. When you notice a corporation, company, organization, or business that has supported The Center, help us thank and reward them! Just like individuals, businesses and organizations deserve to feel recognized and appreciated!
