A
Letter from the Executive Director:
We are locally
governed and focused solely on mental health services to children and families.
This matters! We are part of the community that we serve.
Children’s
Center is stable
Founded in
1989, we have an annual operating budget of over one-million dollars.
We have built a “Board directed” reserve of a little over one-million
dollars for future stability. This may make it seem that we do not need your
donation, but nothing could be further from the truth.
Any donation, no matter how big or small, goes directly to help fund our
services.
Children’s
Center is frugal with your money and your time
Yes, like every
agency we have overhead and administrative expenses but we try to keep them as
low as possible. You can rest
assured that we spend most of our money on actual programs that serve our
community. If you have any
questions about this please contact us and we will provide you with more
information.
Our Board
formally adopted a set of policies that set out to enhance your relationship
with Children’s Center. Included in these policies is a Donors Bill of Rights
which spells out exactly what you can expect from us. These documents are
available on our website at
www.thechildrenscenter.org or by contacting Jevan Williams at 360-699-2244
or
jevanw@thechildrenscenter.org
. We would also like to hear any other comments or feedback.
Please contact us at any time.
Community
Engagement is the process of building relationships with community members who
will work side-by-side with Children’s Center as an ongoing partner, in any and
every way imaginable, building support for our mission, with the end goal of
making
While we stay
true to our core values, we continue to look for new, innovative ways to serve
the children and families of

Donate a
vehicle to support Children’s Center
Do you have a Vehicle that you would
like to donate?
Children’s
Center is now able to accept these types of donations as we are affiliated with
Car Program LLC. We can accept most
vehicles and vessels including but not limited to cars, trucks, trailers, boats
and RV's - we are able to accept most vehicles running or not (exceptions
include older vehicles whose value would not offset the cost of towing).
We would like the title to the vehicle, but even if you do not have it please
call us at (360) 699-2244.
Car Program LLC
will arrange to have your vehicle towed away by a professionally licensed,
bonded and insured towing company,
usually within three or four days.
Have you considered a Planned Gift to Children’s Center?
A planned gift
is any outright or deferred gift that is made with forethought about the
benefits to the charity and the financial implications to the donor.
Generally, a
planned gift is made from capital rather than income, and relates to the donor’s
estate plan.
The goal of a
Planned Gift is to attain philanthropic objectives while
Outright Gifts:
The donor retains no interest in the contributed assets, so they can be used
currently by the Children’s Center.
Deferred Gifts:
The donor arranges the gift now but retains use of, or income from, the
property, so that Children’s Centers use of the gift is deferred to a future
time.
Planned Giving
Our website now
has information on estate planning with Children’s Center, our Donors Bill of
Rights, Privacy Policy, Donor
Policies, form 990’s, etc.
