HOW YOU CAN help 

As a not-for profit organization, The Wellness Community relies solely on the generosity of individuals, corporations and foundations. We believe that cancer patients and their families are under considerable stress and should not be charged for support services. As a 501(3)(c) non-profit organization, all gifts are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.

There are many ways you can help:

  • Give an on-line tax-deductible gift to TWC through Click & Pledge.
  • Give a gift "in memory," "in honor," or "for the speedy recovery" of someone whether or not they are a participant at TWC.
  • Make a generous gift of appreciated stock without being penalized for capital gains.
  • Have your gift matched by your employer if they have a Matching Gift Program.
  • Consider making a planned gift with The Wellness Community as the ultimate beneficiary of a gift annuity or charitable remainder trust for immediate tax benefits today and lasting presence tomorrow.
  • Include The Wellness Community in your estate plans with a bequest, which can be directed to a particular program.
  • Donate real estate or personal property and receive tax benefits representing full market value.
  • Include TWC in your United Way or Campus Chest pledge as a "write-in".
  • Consider donating pertinent items such as office equipment, supplies, or quality furniture.
  • Donate your time to help around The Wellness Community office and during programs.
