For more information about how to make an in-kind gift, please contact Keith Gillis, Advancement Assistant, at KGillis@franciscanchildrens.org.

In-kind Gift Policy

 A gift-in-kind is a non-cash donation of a good or service. We accept gifts-in-kind that continue to support Franciscan Children’s mission to provide a compassionate and positive environment where children with complex medical, mental health and educational needs receive specialized care from people who are committed to excellence, innovation and family support… so that children can reach their fullest potential and live their best life.

It is the sole responsibility of the donor to determine the value of a contributed item; the receiver cannot assign a value to the donated item(s). The IRS has specific regulations regarding gifts-in-kind. For more information on Franciscan Children’s policy for accepting gifts-in-kind, please contact Keith Gillis, Advancement Assistant, at KGillis@franciscanchildrens.org.

In regards to the Franciscan Children’s Holiday Drive, all items must be new and all books must be wipe-able with appropriate language.

Volunteer

We recognize your time is valuable. Friends of Franciscan Children’s may wish to volunteer as part of a corporate community day, or complete an organized one-time event, like hosting a holiday party for patients.
