There are many ways to support
Boston Cares. Through the time, talent and treasure
of generous supporters like you, Boston Cares is
able to make
an impact throughout Greater Boston virtually every
day of the year - 7,000 volunteers serving on 1,600
teams at 100 non-profits! Below are just a few ways
you can contribute to Boston Cares.
Contribute through Network for Good
By clicking on the "Donate Now" button below you
will be redirected to the Network for Good.
Network for Good, the Internet's leading
charitable resource,
makes
contributing online both safe and easy.
 Matching
Gifts
Double your gift without doubling your check! Many
companies will match their employees' charitable
contributions. If you are planning to support Boston
Cares this year, please check with your HR
Department to find out if your company has a
Matching Gift program. Often, all you need to do is
fill out a form with our Tax-ID number, which is
04-3173682. If Boston Cares needs to fill out the
form, just send it along. It's quick, easy, and we
greatly appreciate twice the cash!
Payroll Deductions
At many companies, employees support their favorite
nonprofit each month through payroll deductions.
Does your company have this program? If the answer
is yes, we hope you'll support Boston Cares. If you
are not sure, we encourage you to contact the HR or
Community Relations Department to find out.
United Way Giving Campaign
Does your company support a United Way giving
campaign? You can direct your United Way funds to
support your favorite nonprofit- Boston Cares! At
the bottom of the United Way Pledge Form, there is a
section for Restricted Contributions where you can
fill in specific agencies to receive your funds. If
you would like for Boston Cares to be the
beneficiary of your United Way donation, you must
enter our code number- 102065. Boston Cares is not
in the directory, so please be sure to write in
102065 and write "Boston Cares" underneath the
number on that line.
Dollars for Do-ers
Through Dollars for Do-ers programs, companies make
a financial contribution to those organizations that
their employees volunteer with. Often, the
contribution is tied to a certain number of hours of
service. If your company has a "Dollars for Do-ers"
program, please let us know. We can provide evidence
of all of the service hours and projects you have
completed with Boston Cares.
Employee Advised Contributions
Some companies have a program around the Holidays or
other milestones through which the company will make
a donation to a charity in an employee's name. As
the Holidays roll around, we hope you'll keep Boston
Cares in mind if your company has this option.
Gifts in Honor
Boston Cares will be pleased to acknowledge
contributions made in honor of someone important to
you with a specially designed gift card.
