"In order for us to accomplish our mission as the CHP we must work together, as one, with the members of our communities. It is always fun to work with the SCH, always memorable, for a great cause, and we always leave with a strong sense of accomplishment and satisfaction."- Javier Marin, California Highway Patrol

Make A Donation

Change Begins In Your Pocket. The Sacramento Children's Home relies on the generosity of the community to keep our doors open to children and families in need. Your financial support will allow us to continue to provide critical prevention and intervention services to the most vulnerable children in our community. Without it, we are forced to answer the question, "Where will the kids go?" Change Begins In Your Pocket.

Workplace Giving

Does your company or employer offer an employee giving program? Supporting the Sacramento Children's Home can be as simple as having small donations directly deducted from your paycheck. Over a year, these add up!! For more information, please contact Allie Delehant at 916.290.8203.

Tribute Funds

Wills & Planned Gifts

Is the IRS your chosen charity? It sounds like a silly question, but for many people the Internal Revenue Service will be their ultimate beneficiary. If unprotected, capital gains and estate taxes can take a big bite out of all you have worked so hard to build.

By utilizing the most current tax laws to your advantage, you can dramatically cut your tax liability in your estate plan by making a gift to the Sacramento Children's Home. Many of these options come with a revenue stream that you can take advantage of immediately. This is a true win-win situation. Consider placing the Sacramento Children's Home in your estate plan. We have put you in touch with expert advisors (not affiliated with SCH) who can assist. To find out more, contact Allie Delehant at 916.290.8203.
