Donate To Heritage Camps for Adoptive Families

Heritage Camps for Adoptive Families, a 501c3 nonprofit, is a critical source of support for adoptive families. While many adoptive families seek out professional support from therapists specializing in attachment or identity, HCAF provides comprehensive support by building community, fostering cultural connections, and providing expert guidance for the entire family.

Donate to Heritage Camps for Adoptive Families with a one-time donation or a recurring monthly donation, and know that you’re providing adoptive families with the tools and connections they need to thrive.

Our camp fees are considerably lower than many other adoption camps. We believe it’s important to be inclusive, and want to ensure that camp is affordable for the majority of families. We provide scholarships for camp fees and accommodation for those who qualify for financial support.

We rely on the generous support of camp families, community members, and local and national businesses. We must raise $250,000 annually in addition to income from camp fees.

Often, you can receive substantial tax benefits by donating stocks or bonds, regardless of market conditions. For appreciated assets, you can deduct the fair market value of the asset donated and pay no capital gains tax on the increased value. For assets that have declined in value, you can sell the asset and claim the loss, then donate the proceeds of the sale to HCAF for a charitable deduction.

DEVELOP HCAF’S ENDOWMENT FUND

An endowment fund will sustain Heritage Camps for Adoptive Families and secure our long-term future. Each year, the costs of facilitating camps is increasing and there’s a need for additional funding to keep camps affordable for families. An endowment will ensure that HCAF will continue to serve adoptive families with improved sustainability. Email Marissa.Tafura@HeritageCamps.org for more information.

PLANNED GIVING

Planned gifts can provide enhanced tax benefits and sometimes income to the donor, while strengthening Heritage Camps for Adoptive Families. Planned Gifts can be earmarked for an endowment fund, where the gift is invested and kept in perpetuity. Only earnings are used each year for specified purposes. This provides fiscal stability and long-term planning options for HCAF. Please contact our account representative, Tim Jordan at Neidiger Tucker Bruner, Inc., and he will be happy to assist you.
