Ways to Give

Sunshine Cottage is extremely grateful for the financial support it receives from alumni, faculty, staff, parents, friends, foundations and businesses. This support has enabled our school to become the wonderful place that it is today.

However, ongoing financial support is still needed. As Sunshine Cottage has grown over the years, there has been an increasing need for new facilities to accomodate the growth of our diversified areas of service and adminstration.  As we ready ourselves for this upcoming capital campaign, continued assistance is still needed from those who believe in our mission.

Sunshine Cottage recognizes that giving is an individual decision. This is why we offer giving opportunities to fit one's own personal goals with the school's needs. For example, many alumni give because they received scholarships and financial aid as students and want to see other children fully enjoy the education they themselves received from Sunshine Cottage. Others support favorite programs such as the Hearing Aid Loaner Program because they desire to see all children with hearing loss provided with the best equipment possible.

There are exciting ways to give to Sunshine Cottage. Take a moment to find the best way for your donation to reach Sunshine. Below you will find two options that are convenient and affordable.  For more ways to give, click here!
